One could shout and demonstrate all they want , but the Saudi legal system & authorities will take no notice of these or give any thought. Only if its hits their pockets they will open their eyes. Otherwise they will do as they please. If we are a big user of their crude and we organize a boycott then they will take note, we as a small country have no influence on them at all. Over the years they done some horrendous stuff.

This is not good. This might provoke the Saudi authorities and poor Rizana will be in trouble. Please, God help this poor girl to save her life and return home safely!

The moment she get released , all politicians will fight to get credit. MR will say its because of him, other would say its because of them at the end MR will imprison them all and say its MR's victory. Thats how the story goes...... in sri lanka.. :-)
