A young maid is facing death by beheading in Saudi Arabia for a crime she claims she did not commit.
Rizana Nafeek, who alleges she was a teenager at the time of the incident, was arrested in May 2005 on charges of murdering a four-month-old baby who was in her care.
The Sri-Lankan born maid denies murder and claims she desperately tried to save the child, who choked while she was looking after it.
The news comes just days after Indonesia announced it would ban women from travelling to the kingdom for domestic work after another maid was beheaded there.
According to the Sunday Express, earlier this week Indonesia banned its citizens from working in the oil-rich country after another maid was beheaded for murder.
Ruyati binti Sapub, 54, was executed after she confessed to killing her employer with a meat cleaver because of constant abuse.
If Nafeek's execution goes ahead the now 23-year-old will dressed in a white robe and be marched into a packed town centre.
She will also be blindfolded, shackled and forced to kneel facing Mecca before she is prodded between the shoulders so her head is raised naturally.
Nafeek will then be executed, medieval style, with one sweep of a sharply-bladed sword.

You know something, you could not get me to willingly walk into their room. I would fight and hit and struggle every step of the way. Oh, and face Mecca? F*** Mecca. I would not do it.
Saudi has its risks. Sane people don’t visit there. They’ve only pretended to have eliminated slavery.
Drill here, drill now. Why are we supporting these animals?
Oh, come on! Why so critical everyone? Aren’t all cultures equal? Coexist! (Hey, is that your head bouncing down the street or are you just happy to see me?)
Oh, and we have idiots who refer to these lowlife troglodytes as "your highness" and of course our Dear Leader bows to them.
So simply avoiding the place is not enough - it's trying to come here.
19 Saudi filth in airplanes were just one aspect of that.
The method punishment is certainly acceptable it is the executing of a person innocent of the charged offense that is unacceptable.
Sadly most are abused and going home is difficult. With no rights there's little hope.
Surely there must be place in the middle?
Sharia (Shariah).....=.=
islamist vs islamist. How now.
My greatest hope before I die is to see a very large war between the Sunni and Shis clans of islam against each other.
Gots to be ways to fan those flames.
Go Saudi Arabia you F’s, beat Iran.
Go Iran, you F’s, beat Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps George W. Bush could walk hand-in-hand with King Fahd to the beheading “ceremony.”
This is another reason the Left/Rinos/UN types fear Palin, Cain or Bachmann. They have no ties to the Saudis, nor any other Arab leaders - and thus no reason to continue the ‘business as usual’ policies of the CFR types.
Ponder that for a bit.
Too bad Louise Woodward didn’t commit her crime in Saudi Arabia instead of here.
Think highly of yourself? It would be safe to assume that others aren't impressed with you.
Has NOW weighed in on this yet?
