Re: Saudis defend Sri Lankan maid’s execution, hit back at criticism
I don’t know details of the case but was it fully investigated whether baby died of choking on milk (which can very possibly happen) or was he strangled? These are two starkly different events and should’ve been very clearly found out unless doctor was pressured to get the maid indicted (Arab vs non-Arab). But if it was investigated and she was found guilty then there is no point for “pardon”, why have laws if we want everyone to be pardoned?
Laws will look gruesome to you but you should check with families affected by criminals (crimes which warrant beheading), many a times criminals go to “corrective facility” called jails and come out to commit another crime.
