Sri Lankan Rizana Nafeek will be executed for killing baby, How a country like Saudi Arabia is still able to receive in international organizations ?
Rizana Nafeek had denied strangling the four-month-old baby in 2005 and the execution came despite global appeals to call it off because she was only 17 at the time.
Rights groups said the death sentence was a violation of international codes governing the rights of minors.
Appeals by the Sri Lankan government were also rejected and Nafeek was executed in the town of Dawadmy, near the capital Riyadh, on Wednesday morning.
In a statement the Saudi interior ministry said she had been found guilty of smothering the infant to death after an argument with the child’s mother, her employer.
Sri Lanka’s President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, had made a series of personal appeals to try to stop the execution and grant a pardon to the maid.
Afterwards, the president said he and his government “deplored” the beheading.
Saudi households are highly dependent on housemaids from African and South Asian countries.
There have been reported cases of domestic abuse in which families mistreat their maids, who have then attacked the children of their employers.
Condemning the execution, Human Rights Watch senior women’s rights researcher Nisha Varia said: “Saudi Arabia is one of just three countries that executes people for crimes they committed as children.
“In executing Rizana Nafeek, Saudi authorities demonstrated callous disregard for basic humanity as well as Saudi Arabia’s international legal obligations.”
Saudi is an absolute monarchy that follows the strict Wahhabi school of Islam and applies Sharia (Islamic) law. Judges base decisions on their own interpretation of Sharia rather than on a written legal code or on precedent.
In a statement Amnesty International said that it appeared Nafeek had had no access to lawyers either during her pre-trial interrogation or at her trial in 2007.
Hers was the second execution in Saudi Arabia this year after a Syrian man was beheaded on Tuesday for drug trafficking.

Muslims should be vanished from this earth
These Bxxxxy Muslim Bxxxxxxs do not have any compassion or passion due to their stupid religion. Saudi King is showing all these minor acts to Asians and African countries as he has no back bone to do these type of things to western and european countries. I find Sri Lanka is a peaceful country to any nationality and yet Muslims went to Sri Lanka in the past as merchants and lived their increased their raise and living ever since.
Muslims never respect or obey any other religion in the world yet they spit and trample holy books of Buddhists and Christians when entering into Muslim countries. Such sick people are getting erased from this earth. The best example is killing one another and never ending wars in Muslim Countries. This is all because of their Stupid religion and their Idiotic God – Allah or Bullah, still Allah cannot help to stop the wars in Muslim Countries. In the Islam religion there is no sorrow taught to people and yet they kill animals in front of small children and teaching them that animals do not feel pain when they kill to eat. That is why even Muslim children are so violent and brutal and facing many complaints in schools as well. There was no postmortem for the babies body and no hearing from Rizana as well which violates human rights. Muslims are not humans that is why they do not know human rights.
It is all Fxxxxxg Bxxl Sxxt how they give punishments. They give all these punishments because they know that Muslims are born vulgar people from the past and they could not control their vulgar attitudes and that is why they made the women to cover their face and bodies. They can marry seven or more and they have legalized this act as something rightful in their religion to make others feel it is o.k. to marry many women. Muslims have their religion in front of every thing such Holy war, Holy fight, Holy decision, Holy Execution, Halal – May be marrying many women is also HOLY FxCK.
Why isn’t Rizana’s body or any other bodies given to owners? It is simply because to cover they hurt them, rape them or wound them, that is the main reason.
Just as marrying women, Muslims have legalized marrying under age girls such as their daughters or grand daughters or great grand daughters or even great great granddaughters which shows clearly that Muslims are the MOST VULGAR BXXXXRDS ON THIS EARTH. MAY GOD BLESS YOU RIZANA, BUT NOT THAT COWARD”S ALLAH”S BLESSING.
