Saudi execution: Brutal, inhuman and illegal?

In the article, Jo Becker, writes about the need for legislation to protect the rights of domestic workers in Saudi Arabia and other countries. She cites the case of a Sri Lankan girl sentenced to death at the age of 17, for the death of a baby that was under her care. The girl, Rizana Nafeek, stated that the baby died in a choking incident, but was brutally beheaded after she was convicted in an unfair trial that left her without a capable translator or even a lawyer  to defend her innocence.By identifying Rizana as "a child herself", the author uses pathos to raise even more sympathy and compassion by identifying Rizana as not just a person unjustly murdered, but an innocent child as well. The author uses logos by citing statistics that demonstrate the need for laws that protect the rights of  domestic workers across the world: "The International Labour Organization says that nearly 30% of the world's domestic workers are completely excluded from national labor laws. They typically earn only 40% of the average wage of other workers. Forty-five percent aren't even entitled by law to a weekly day off."The lack of protection under the law dehumanizes these domestic workers, leaving them vulnerable to mistreatment and violence in a society where their voices are not heard. The world is in desperate need of international legislation that guarantees that whether a worker is foreign or native, a doctor or a domestic worker, they have equal rights and protection under the law.
