Hundreds of Indonesian migrant workers face death sentence in Malaysia

Three hundred and forty five Indonesian migrant workers are facing the death sentence in Malaysia, according to the Sabang-Merauke Circle.
“They seek jobs for a better life in Malaysia. Therefore, it is important for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to express his concern,” Sabang-Merauke Circle director Syahganda Nainggolan said Sunday, as quoted by kompas.com.
Yudhoyono has not shown any good intention on settling the matter, Syahganda said.
“The Indonesian government must use diplomacy to defend the rights of Indonesians who face the death sentence,” he added.
