Foreign workers are being warned of the 'deadly risks' they face in Saudi Arabia, with more than 45 maids awaiting execution despite growing anger at the country's mistreatment of migrants.
The death row prisoners include a domestic worker convicted of beating her employer to death when he allegedly tried to rape her.
On Wednesday, authorities in the Middle Eastern country ignored international pleas and beheaded maid Rizana Nafeek, 24, who was convicted of killing a baby despite protesting her innocence.

Human rights groups believe Indonesians account for the majority of the maids on death row and that there are Sri Lankans, Filipinos, Indians and Ethiopians also facing execution.
Campaigners say many of Saudi Arabia's 1.5 million migrant workers, around 375,000 of whom are Sri Lankan, are attracted to the country by the prospect of working for wealthy families but face exploitation and abuse.
This can range from months of hard work without pay to physical violence, in a country where legal protections are particularly weak, and access to lawyers, translators and embassies is often blocked

Hizi nchi za waarab zina matatizo na ndiyo maana wenyewe wakibahatika kutoka tu kwenda nje wanashikwa na jazba la kutaka kupiga miti kila demu na kulewa hovyo. Cha kushangaza ni wao wenyewe ndiyo wanataka sheria za kiislam zitawale nchi zao lakini wanapenda uhuru wa kulana tigo na kulewa ila kichinichini, sasa nani anamkomoa nani hapa? Kulana uroda na kulewa kuna raha yake, tumepewa dushelele na mwenyezi Mungu na kina mama wamepewa kikaango kwa ajili ya kugawana nasi.
