Opposition lawmaker Shanakiyan Rasamanickam has expressed relief following reports that the death penalty against Sri Lankan migrant worker Anojan Sivarasa in Saudi Arabia has been rescinded. In a public statement, the MP acknowledged that this outcome provides significant hope to the worker's family and supporters. Rasamanickam credited the success to a collaborative campaign involving diplomatic channels, legal experts, government officials, and various civil society groups. Despite this positive legal development, the parliamentarian emphasized that advocacy efforts will persist until Sivarasa is successfully repatriated to Sri Lanka. The case has drawn widespread attention from both political and religious leaders who have campaigned for his safety and release.
