This is NOT a repeat of last year’s teen gang rape victim the Saudi’s jailed and sentenced to 200 lashes. They later freed her after international outcry over the Saudi’s PATHETIC record on human rights, and mistreatment of women. This is another poor woman who made a bad choice to accept a ride from a male, and for her trust was gang raped. And according to good old islamic law (shariah) she is a whore and has to go to jail and be lashed 100 times. And of course, this could have been avoided if Saudiwomen were allowed to drive, instead of being treated like property.
Jeddah, gang-raped woman sentenced to prison, one hundred lashes
According to the judge, the woman is guilty of adultery and of accepting a ride from a stranger. Following her rape, she became pregnant, and will finish her pregnancy in prison. The one hundred lashes will be given after her baby is born.
Jeddah (AsiaNews/Agencies) – The victim of sexual violence after which she became pregnant, a 23-year-old Saudi woman has been condemned to one year in prison, and 100 lashes. The news has been reported by the Saudi newspaper Saudi Gazette, which says that the judge punished the woman because she is guilty of “adultery,” having accepted “a ride from a stranger.” The man and his friends abused her the entire night.
The court of the district of Jeddah handed down the sentence after the unmarried woman “confessed to having forced intercourse with a man who offered her a ride.” According to the young woman’s testimony, he took her to a house east of Jeddah, and, together with four friends, abused her the entire night.
Following the rape, the woman became pregnant; she was eight weeks pregnant when she went to the military King Fahd Hospital. According to the judge, the woman is guilty of “adultery” simply because she is not married, and she has been sentenced to a year in prison.
The hundred lashes will be given after she delivers the baby; the child will take his mother’s last name. In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive, and can ride in a car only if they are accompanied by a husband or relative. In recent days, Saudi princess Amira al-Tawil, wife of prince Al Walid Bin Talal, had defended the right to drive for all women in the country.
The worst part is the fact that her rapist got her pregnant, and she will have to remain in jail during her pregnancy. Isn’t islam just the epitome of putting women on a pedestal? Oh, and how compassionate, those hundred lashes can wait until after she has the baby. If only there was someone learned in the ways of TRUE islam, perhaps, I don’t know, that genius xkon who is always telling us that muslims are not living according to true islam. I imagine he would get out two sentences before the mutawwa’een took him to a cold dark cell, beat him, then sent him up for execution in Riyadh square, for blasphemy.
