Al-Jazeera TV reported that Indonesia launched a protest against the Saudi Arabia over the execution of an Indonesian maid convicted of killing her employer, which a workers' rights organization confirmed that he tried to rape her.
The Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, said that he contacted the Saudi Foreign Minister “Adel Al-Joubair” to lodge a protest and ask why Indonesia was not informed of the execution of the woman, called “Tuti Tursilawati”
“Tursilawati”, who was working in the city of “Al-Taif”, was convicted of killing her employer in 2010, and was sentenced to death (which was a suspended sentence).
Migrant Care, an Indonesian human rights organization, said last September that “Tursilawati” was defending herself from an attempt of rape.
