Penalties beheaded for Indonesian migrant workers, slap the President of Indonesia

Executive Director of Imparsial Poengky Indarty assess the execution of women workers (maids) Indonesia, Ruyati bint Satubi, a blow for the government of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Death Ruyati have shown that the President has failed to protect the rights of Indonesian migrant workers who are abroad.
As reported, the Ruyati bint Satubi on Saturday (06/18/2011) was sentenced to death after admitting to have killed a woman from Saudi Arabia named Khairiya binti Hamid Mijlid in 2010. "The government must take responsibility. This is a blow to SBY, in the sense previously, in a speech at the 100th session of the ILO in Switzerland, which declared protection mechanisms housemaid (domestic) migrants abroad has been running it has not been proven," said Poengky in the Office of Impartial, Jakarta, Sunday (06/19/2011).
Added, Ruyati death penalty cases must be observed and used as lessons for the government not to be repeated again. He suggested that government can make maximum efforts in ensuring the safety of the citizens who work abroad. One is against 23 Arab citizens in the majority of migrants as domestic workers, who are facing the threat of the death penalty.
"So, the government should review the cases affecting migrant workers abroad. Because most of her case was in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, two countries so that's what should be the focus of attention of the Government of Indonesia and continue to rigorously pursue 23 citizens in Arabic was given a pardon in order to escape the death penalty, "he explained.
In addition, continued Poengky, laws governing the Indonesian migrant workers also need to be regulated. According to him, by looking at the many concerns affecting migrant workers abroad are a form of government failure in providing jobs for its people."That was the greatest failure of the government. So, instead, the government should be able to protect our workforce who want to go abroad. Let's just say, for example, the government can provide training prior to people who want to work abroad, so at least the life them there could be guaranteed, "he said.
Earlier, in isolation, observers of international law Hikmahanto Heilbron said the government must act firmly against the Government of Saudi Arabia related to the case.Assertiveness, according to him, can be realized by sending workers to the cessation of Saudi Arabia. He also suggested that the government can perform diplomatic actions to show displeasure over the treatment of its citizens Indonesia, one of which may be calling home the Indonesian Ambassador in Saudi Arabia or Indonesia to reduce the number of personnel representatives in the country.
"The firmness needs to be done so that the Government of Saudi Arabia is more sensitive to the fate of the workers in the country who often suffer harassment and violence. It all comes down to the workers doing the actions alleged in Ruyati, namely the murder of the employer. Moreover, when the Saudi Arabian authorities are not serious in conducting the proceedings, and even tended to protect its citizens who committed atrocities against the workers, "said Hikmahanto.
