HONG KONG -

2013 JAN 18 @Protest action to demand justice for Rizana Nafeek

On Jan 18, IDWN joined the protest organized by International Migrants Alliance Hong Kong (IMA-HK) & Asia Pacific Mission for Migrants (APMM), condenming the beheading of Rizana Nafeek, the Sri Lankan domestic migrant worker, in Saudi Arabia on Jan 9 2013, for a "crime" which still has yet to be confirmed.

IDWN strongly demand that the government of Saudi Arabia indemnify the case by apologizing to Rizana Nafeed's family and making other compensations according to the family's wishes. We further demand that the government immediately adopt and reform its policies and laws in line with international standards as stipulated in the United Nations and International Labour Conventions, protect human rights and labour rights of migrant workers.

Elizabeth Tang read out the letter of statement before giving it to the KSA Consulate.

"We told them that we were shocked, that we were angry because justice has been denied. We reminded the government to change the law and to make sure this will not happen again," said Elizabeth after a short meeting with the representative of the KSA Consulate.
