I can't help but quote this news article at the Inquirer entitled "Kin send out call to save OFW on death row in Kuwait". I hope more and more people will know about Marilou's fate in Kuwait and feel the urgency of saving her from death. To quote:
She wanted to lift her family from poverty and decided to work in Kuwait as a domestic helper, leaving a potential teaching career in the Philippines.
But the dreams of Marilou Ranario, 35, may no longer find fulfillment after she ended up on death row in Kuwait for allegedly stabbing her employer to death in 2005.
Ranario’s relatives, her neighbors in the village of Holy Spirit, Quezon City and members of Migrante International are now racing against time to try to save her from being executed.
“Our campaign to save her life is about raising public awareness about the greatest heights of exploitation and injustice Marilou and other OFWs on death row suffer,” Migrante International secretary general Maita Santiago told a press conference on Friday.
Ranario has been scheduled for execution in January or February next year.

the sad reality is that they (middle east countries) have a totally different justice system that, in my opinion, favors their own against crime committed by foreigners.
