Rizana Nafeek's letter from Al Dawami Prison

On right is a photocopy of the letter written by Rizana Nafeek from Al Dawami Prison in Dawami on January 10, 2007.

In this letter she says this is the second statement she is making after she was arrested on murder charges.

She said she is 19 years and her date of birth is February 2, 1988. However the sub agent changed her date of birth fraudulently as 2nd February 1982 for the passport obtained her. She says she reached Saudi Arabia on 1st April 2005. I had worked in this residence for one and half months. I didn't have much problem here I had to cook, wash pots and pans and look after the four month baby. There were two other children boy and girl age four and three years. She finally says please save my life.

This letter was given to us by Abdul Cader Mashoor Moulana, Coordinating Secretary to President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Middle East affairs.

Moulana returned from Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. After meeting the religious leaders on the final mission to save her life. Moulana said that he met Risana a few days before she was executed.
