Minister urges S Arabia to mete out heavy punishment to guilty employers

"We have sent this message through our consul in Riyard to Saudi Arabian law enforcers to heed our call for the enforcement of justice against the quilty," Director of the Indonesian Workers Protection at the Foreign Ministry Teguh Wardoyo told Antara here on Saturday.

According to him, the torture which ended with the death of the female house helpers was never justified by the law as it was against the principles of human rights and also religious tenets.

He made the statement at a waiting gallary of the Soehartno Hatta`s Terminal II on the sideline of a return of two dead bodies - Siti Tarwiyah and Susmiyati- from Riyard by a Saudi Air passenger plane.
