An Indonesian migrant into Saudi Arabia has been executed for resisting rape.
She was found guilty of killing her employer after he wanted to have his way with her forcefully, but met with the wrong end of the adventure, sometime in 2011. She had been on death row ever since.
Mrs Tursilawati claimed she was acting in self defence.
It may seem that Indonesia-Saudi Arabis diplomatic relations may have been strained by this unfortunate incident, as no notice of the execution was given to the Indonesian government, for the third time in four years running.
The Saudi ambassador to Indonesia had been summoned to discuss the matter, the president said, but the Saudi embassy in Jakarta did not answer calls seeking comment.
'The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has ignored principles of human rights, including a right for everyone to live,' said Abidin Fikri, a member of Indonesia's parliament.
