Rizana Nafeek (Sinhala: ?????? ?????, Tamil: ?????? ?????; 4 February 1988 – 9 January 2013) was a Sri Lankan woman convicted and subsequently executed in Saudi Arabia for the murder of four-month-old Naif al-Quthaibi.
Her parents alleged that in order to get work in Saudi Arabia, the date of birth was altered on Nafeek's passport, and in reality she was under 18 when the offence took place; this made her execution contrary to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Nafeek claimed that her initial confession was made under duress and without linguistic assistance.
