Miss Rizana Nafeeq – Palestinians appeal for Mercy
Engineer Mahmoud Abdullah, President of Palestine - Sri Lanka Assembly for Friendship and Cooperation has sent an appeal to the Palestinian Ambassador in Saudi Arabia requesting him to present the case of Miss Rizana Nafeeq to the Saudi Arabian Authorities and appeal for mercy. In its appeal the Assembly has stated that based on humanistic spirit and understanding the Palestinian community is in solidarity with Sri Lanka seeking mercy from Saudi authorities to release the poor Sri Lankan girl who was only looking for basic means of life in Saudi Arabia.
The appeal further states that "Islamic and Arabic morals carry enough compassion and mercy to pardon this innocent girl specially when she did not have any motives for the alleged murder. It is very clear that she stands to benefit only if the child is alive and healthy. Her only interest is the wellbeing of the child".
"Perhaps being an underage child herself lack of experience in the art of handling infant and also lack of knowledge of motherhood care brought about this unfortunate situation and as such Rizana Nafeeq cannot be held responsible. In every respect it appears the cause of this death was incorrect method of handling the child and there was no intention on the part of Rizana Nafeeq to harm this child and as we believe it was the child’s destiny".
