| Furore over Indonesian's beheading in Saudi |
| 2011-06-22 |
 [Al Jazeera] Indonesia has recalled its ambassador to Soddy Arabia in response to the execution of an Indonesian maid who was convicted of murdering her Saudi employer.The maid's beheading has sparked protests in Jakarta and calls for an explanation from Riyadh. In the past 20 years, a total of 303 migrant workers from Indonesia have been sentenced to death in Soddy Arabia. Indonesia has managed to help only 12 of its citizens escape execution. |

| #2 Indonesia should have long ago developed a discreet revenge policy, so that when some Saudi murders an Indonesian maid, but then "gets over" in Saudi court, a killer is dispatched, to dispatch the Saudi--with plausible deniability. Make it look like an accident. A nasty and painful one. |

| #1 Considering how Saudi employers tend to treat their Indonesian maids, Jakarta's response may well be appropriate - though ordinarily I wouldn't be concerned with whether or how a murderer was executed. |
