Saudi Arabia to 'reopen' Sri Lankan maid adultery case

 The woman - a 45-year-old mother of two - was convicted in
August along with an unmarried Sri Lankan man.
She was sentenced to death by stoning, while the man was sentenced to 100 lashes.
Saudi Arabia's decision to stone the woman was condemned in Sri Lanka, where protests were held.
Sri Lankan embassy officials visited the woman in a Saudi jail on Sunday, Deputy Foreign Minister Harsha de Silva said.
The country had appealed to Saudi Arabia's government to pardon the couple.
