447996It is with much sorrow reading about the beheading of Ruyati Binti Sapubi and the possible beheadings of the 22 migrant Indonesian migrant workers. Why the world community does not stand up for these atrocious acts of evil is a sad commentary on its stand for human rights. Beheadings are not acts of Godly behavior. It is nothing short of evil acts by evil leaders and evil governments. God save and protect those 22 migrant workers and others in similar situations.

Padang, West Sumatra. Indonesia has disclosed that as many as 22 migrant workers are facing the same fate as an Indonesian maid who was beheaded by Saudi Arabian authorities on Saturday.
Indonesian authorities have alleged that Ruyati binti Sapubi killed her employer because she was frequently verbally abused and held in the country against her will.
Speaking on Monday, Justice and Human Rights Minister Patrialis Akbar said 22 workers “may also face the same punishment.”
He said in total, there were a total of 316 Indonesians involved in legal cases in Saudi Arabia, 22 of whom had been sentenced to death by beheading with a sword.
He said the Indonesian government would strive to ensure they did not meet the same fate as Ruyati.
