Yet another Sri Lankan to be beheaded in Saudi

[sri_lion]

Rizana Nasik, a nineteen year old Sri Lankan house maid, was last week convicted of strangling a four month old infant in Saudi Arabia.

She was then sentenced a death penalty of beheading according to the Saudi Arabian High Court.

Sri Lankan law prohibits sending underage girls to work abroad but agencies often conceal the true age of their employees.

Saul Hameed Lathief, working for the employment agency that helped Rizana to get a job in Saudi Arabia, admits: “It is not difficult to alter the date of birth and send underage girls abroad.”

“Many agencies do that,” he adds.

The people of Muttur feel angry and helpless when questioned over the agencies’ right to violate the laws. They tell BBC Sinhala that the government should have done more to stop young Sri Lankan girls going abroad.

“This is a young school girl and government should step in to stop this. These people send their daughter because they are poor but agencies should have acted with due care and responsibility” Thaslim Muhammed Nishber, a resident of Muttur adds.
