The Beheading of Ruyati really shocked the various parties. The victim's family who lives in Bekasi, West Java, just got the news after she was executed.
Ruyati became a migrant worker for the first time in around the year 1999. On the first departure, the grandmother of seven grandchildren of the three children had worked in Medina, Saudi Arabia, for five years. after went home, he returned to try his fortune in Saudi Arabia and worked for six years. Lastly, he worked in the oil-rich country for one year and four months, before the executioner's sword separates the head from his body.
At first, Ruyati became a migrant worker because his determination to finance one of her children for nursing school. She then set out again for a second time with the intention of seeking money to buy public transportation for Iwan Setiawan, her other son.
When will depart again for the third time, the family was already asking Ruyati - who was divorced by her husband - to cancel her intention. However, with the reason to not bother her children in old age, he still fly back to Arab land.
Defend Herself
However, the fate said another. The Ruyati departure for the third time, to earn a living, ending with death. He was accused of killing her employer named Khairiyah Majlad.
Information received from Ruyati's family, from the beginning to work for his employer, Ruyati often tortured. "In fact, in the first three months, my mother's leg was broken. But he was not taken to hospital and only employer's child who is a doctor treat her," Een (Ruyati's daugther) said.
Based on the news from fellow workers, that the cause to a broken of Ruyati's leg persecuted her employer. "I believe my mother is innocent. He was just defending himself," Een said, wiping her tears.
The same plea is given by the Director of Advocacy for the Association of Indonesian Migrant Workers Independent (Migrant Care), Nining Johar. He said that the accusations against Ruyati not be taken for granted. In fact, Migrant Care confident, Ruyati is one of the victims of violence by employers.
"Actually, the evil party is -in-law. In-law (Khairiyah Majlad) reported paralysis was not paralyzed, because actually he is evil ," said Nining.
He told, while working in her employer's house, the violence often experienced by Ruyati,
The similar word phrased by the Head of National Agency for Placement and Protection of Indonesian Workers (BNP2TKI) Jumhur Hidayat.This Government institution is suspect, Ruyati reckless killing her master becuse she often abused.
"In the trial had admitted that Ruyati often abused physically, so in the end he was fighting, which led to the death of her female employer," said Jumhur.
As a result of her actions, this migrant worker from Bekasi is sentenced to beheading in Saudi Arabia. He was convicted killing his employer on January 12, 2010 with a cruel, by stabbing victim with a sword repeatedly. In front of the court, Ruyati confess.
is it the government careless?
The execution of Ruyati make many inflamed. Migrant Care loudly said that the government had been careless to protect its citizens. The reason, Migrant Care've warned the government about the legal process of Ruyati since March 2011.
Responding to the accusation, Jumhur denied that government moves slowly to prevent the execution of the beheaded law. According to him, the government through the Consulate General in Jeddah has been working hard to Ruyati not be put to death, with a request that the institution of forgiveness (lajnatul afwu) set him free. However, the victim's family insisted would not forgive him.
"It is The law in Saudi Arabia, if someone kills so the court will impose the death penalty, until the victims' families forgiving not to be put to death. We've tried, but have not been able to penetrate the system rigidity of death penalty in Saudi Arabia," explained Jumhur.
Whatever the reason, beheading Ruyati sounding the alarm about the law protection for migrant workers in abroad again. Moreover, Migrant Care noted there are still 26 other workers in Saudi Arabia who also have been sentenced to death by the local court.
Currently, the number of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia reachs 1.5 million people. About 90 percent are migrants who work as domestic servants or personal drivet who work on individual employers. This group is susceptible for persecution.
