This article talks about the unfair beheading of a Sri Lankan woman who worked as a maid in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabian government had unfairly tried her for killing a toddler, not allowing her a lawyer or translator or anything else that gave her the opportunity to talk about her case. Although she was underage at the time, she was ultimately beheaded despite pleas of pardon and leniency from the Sri Lankan government and its president, President Mahinda Rajapaksa
