Herlina's family to visit Malaysia

SURABAYA: The family of Herlina Trisnawati, a migrant worker who is now on death row in Malaysia, will visit the neighboring country to give her moral support, a labor activist said on Tuesday.

The visit is also aimed at persuading the Malaysian government to give Herlina amnesty, said Ja'far Shodiq, the secretary- general of Migrant Worker Alliance.

PT Jatim Sukses Karya Bersama, the manpower recruitment agency that sent Herlina to Malaysia, will pay for the family's trip.

Herlina was convicted for murdering her employer Soon Lay three years ago. -- JP
