The government refused to pay the blood money shortage ( diyat ) to the affected families employer Satinah bint Jumadi facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia .
Satinah pleaded guilty to killing her employer , Nura Al Gharib , Saudi Arabia on the court in 2010 and sentenced to beheading .
Under Saudi law , the execution could have been avoided if the offender to pay compensation to the families of the victims called diyat .
Diyat demanded by the family of Al Gharib was originally for 15 million riyals but then dropped to 7 million riyals , or about USD 21 billion .
Protection of citizens Director Ministry of Foreign Affairs , Tatang Razak , in a press conference said that the government is only willing to help the four million riyals only.
" Governments do not show partiality but the government has to pay , we 've approached all of the Philippines , Bangladesh and none of the countries that provide assistance to citizens in criminal cases , " said Tatang .
The Government admitted that he had attempted to hold a maximum of approach with the family to ask for leniency to the Saudi government , including the postponed death sentence of up to five times .

" Now how there are two approaches : first a special approach to the family of the victim to be willing to accept diyat four million riyals it , " said Tatang .
" Second order execution backwards again , if the family is not willing to accept four million riyals , " he added .
However persuasive option for families or delay the execution is considered ineffective by NGO activists ' rights of migrant workers , Migrant Care .
"If you talk again with the family , the ransom could rise again or if they receive yes ga execution . "
" So I think the government should support civil society in the region to raise funds and recognize their efforts in order before 3 April satinah can be collected and can be free , " said Migrant Care executive director Anis Hidayah .
He hoped that no more workers who have died in the execution table .
" As we are advocating the case of migrant workers , executed Ruyati times it still feels , we're not going to let Satinah executed simply because the state does not want to help , " added Anis .
Data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, since 2011 until the beginning of 2014 , there were at least 249 Indonesian citizens facing the death penalty in various countries , including 20 cases last in the early 2014 's .BBC
