JAKARTA – Tuti Tursilawati became on Monday the latest Indonesian migrant worker to be executed by Saudi Arabia. She was found guilty of murdering her employer's father. Since her arrest in 2010 she had pleaded self-defense against frequent sexual harassment that she said finally to her beat Suud Mulhaq Al-Utaibi to death with a stick.
The Foreign Ministry expressed "deep concern" over the execution that it said lacking priority notification, violating international diplomatic ethics.
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, would save Tuti.
Since 2015, the government has imposed a moratorium on sending migrant workers to the Middle East.
Amid all the grieving with each report of an execution, we feel helplessness on Indonesia's part.
<! – The government even concluded a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Saudi Arabia to allow a limited number of workers to enter the kingdom despite the moratorium.
Workers' Advocates Affiliated with Migrant Care, an NGO, asked for the agreement to be involved in the implementation of the Convention on Human Rights. Many employers reportedly withhold workers' passports.
Despite many efforts to strengthen protection and advocacy for migrant workers, Indonesia has failed to improve such basic protection.
These include the kafala (individual sponsorship) system of their mobility, their termination, renewal of employment, termination of employment, and transfer of employment.
Since the 1980s, they have had a lot of experience in the past, and they have had a lot of experience with the success of these people.
That so many have grown up, and they have become so bad, but they have not been able to survive.
A major root of our helplessness is obviously our own death penalty. Another major source of our moral credibility to protest the conditions of our workers in the Middle East is our similar attitude to modern slavery.
Like Saudi Arabia, Indonesia still lacks a domestic workers' law.
Regarding the death penalty, we only need to learn from our neighbor
Without legal recognition and the value of their work and humanity, and by upholding capital punishment, our protests for the likes and dislikes of mockery.
