Harsha De Silva, Sri Lankan acting foreign minister in a statement announced that the Government of Saudi Arabia will be approving an appeal for clemency on a Sri Lankan maid who was sentenced to be stoned in an adultery case in Saudi Arabia.
The 45-year-old married woman served as a domestic helper in Riyadh since 2013. She was accused of adultery with another fellow Sri Lankan migrant worker but luckily has escaped the horrific death by stoning and instead will be sentenced to three year jail time after several appeals made by the Sri Lankan government.
While, the accomplice was given a lesser punishment of 100 lashes only as he was not married.
Although, no statement has been received from the Saudi Arabian Government.
