By Sumaiya RizviOne parent of the dead Saudi infant had pardoned her however both parents had to pardon if she were to be acquitted, Minister of foreign employment promotion and welfare Dilan Perera said yesterday at a press conference.
Sri Lankan housemaid Rizana is in death row in Saudi Arabia for the death of an infant. Her execution had been suspended by the king and her fate is now in the hands of the dead infant’s parents. Both parents had to pardon if she were to be released.
Minister Foreign Employment Minister Dilan Perera said that if she were pardoned the Lankan Government was willing to pay the blood money in exchange for her release and repatriation.
“We are working to help release her but I don’t want to talk about it as it might upset the victim’s family,” he added.
“We should not anger the Saudi Arabian public by protesting since they can protest against the suspended sentence on Rizana,” he said.
The Minister said the Ministry was willing to look after the welfare of Rizana’s family however their only need was the safe return of their daughter.

This girl has to do some time in prison for what she has done. If the baby had died accidentally or negligence then we can ask for mercy from the parents of the baby but as i recall this girl killed the baby by strangulation. I am really humbled by the parent who has a heart of gold to pardon this girl.

Rajiv, you too forgive her, by all probabilities she wouldn't have had the killing instinct, however to err is human and she has suffered in prison for long imagining the tightening noose around her neck!

STOP, the TAMASHAS , and pay the money and bring her back.
