Demonstrators hold up an image of Rizana Nafeek

Demonstrators hold up an image of Rizana Nafeek as they shout slogans during a protest against her execution in Colombo, 11 January 2013. Sri Lanka recalled its envoy to Saudi Arabia after the execution of a Sri Lankan housemaid over the death of an infant in her care in 2005, the Government said on Thursday.

Nafeek was beheaded in the town of Dawadmy, near the capital Riyadh, on Wednesday morning after being sentenced to death in 2007. She was accused by her Saudi employer of killing his infant daughter while she was bottle-feeding. REUTERS/Dinuka Liyanawatte
