AKARTA: Tuti Tursilawati and Satinah, the migrant workers whose cases have grabbed media attention recently, were not the only workers facing death in Saudi Arabia, a member of a House of Representatives team on migrant workers says.

“There are six of them,” Chusnunia said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com on Thursday.

Tuti, a resident of Majalengka, West Java, was sentenced to death by a Saudi court after she was found guilty of murdering her employer, Suud Malhaq Al Utibi, last year. Satinah was accused of killing her employer and sentenced to death in March.

Chusnunia said that information about the total number of migrant workers on Saudi Arabia’s death row resulted from a meeting between the House team and the government’s task force on migrant workers.

She added that her institution was now waiting for details of the four migrant workers.

The government must work harder to save them, she said.
