Saudi gang rape victim sentenced to lashes and prison

[Johnny Canuck3]

Actually, I found it myself: looks like her name is 'G'.

But the judges also decided to sentence the woman, identified by the newspaper only as ‘G,’ and the man to lashes for being alone together in the car.

Unrelated men and women are forbidden from interacting in public in Saudi Arabia, which strictly enforces Islamic Sharia law.

‘G’ said one of the judges told she was lucky not to have been given jail time. ‘I was shocked at the verdict. I couldn’t believe my ears,’ said the woman, who has appealed against her sentence.

If you're going to call me names, try to at least be coherent when you do it.

 

[warren]

You really walked into that one, so predictable.

[Johnny Canuck3]

I think she got the extra lashes for talking back to a man, figuratively speaking.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

No ideas.

Shit.

But she matters so much to you, all personal-like?

[Johnny Canuck3]

Tells myself tyo fuck off.

So you seen through that one John. Somebody is a cunt around here.. me included... probably.
*sigh*
Bollocks story possibly?

No, the story is true, and hugely sad.

Good edit.

As if you really care one iota about this nameless woman in Saudi Arabia.

So yes I do. Even though I don'nt know her name.

You are a pair of cunts.

I call for a ban for excessive use of the word 'cunt'. Shame we're not living in the pre-1960s where I could have you arrested and imprisoned under the obscene publication act.

[warren]

Fuck off.

Luckily for you, 'fuck' was never covered by the obscene publication act. Would you like me to school you to a wider vocabulary? I don't have the greatest grammar in the World but I think it's a bit better than yours.

Its called humanity you snidy prick!

You think I couldn't give a shit because I don't know her.

I'm confused to be honest.

Its seems you are a shithouse anyway.

It bothers me that there is a place where a woman can be gang raped, then whipped for having 'contact with a male'. I feel sad that any woman has to be burdened with such a thing in her life.

I'm sorry that this happened to this particular woman, but it's an abstract thing, because she isn't someone I know. It's not a personal anger or sorrow, it's one that comes into existence in the abstract, as a result of the ideas involved.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Yeah lucky. What is the pont of your contributions?

YOU MUST REALISE YOU TALK LIKE A COMPLETE BELL-END!

How much longer till you pass out?

But within the context of SA culture & law. Why was she with men outside her family unless they kidnapped her.

I believe in live and let live, culture wise, but there comes a point where you have to decide if that's the right way to go. Slaveholding societies come to mind.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the Saudis are right. But in the context of the country I would like a bit more background information to this before I jump on the bandwaggon. For example she may have been drunk or have been taking drugs.

I know the rich widely flout the laws there.

Do you think the gang rape part is made up, then?

 

[nosos]

For example she may have been drunk or have been taking drugs.

How would that affect your judgement of the case?

 

[warren]

No, I'm sure it occurred. I'm sure there will be a blood feud running for centuries because of this.

When you have an inefficient or unfair legal system, it promotes things like blood feuds.

which begs the question, why is the legal system inefficient and/or unfair?

The biggest business in the Arabian peninsula until the end of WW2 was catering for Hajj pilgrims. The oil revenues that came after flowed into the hands of the most powerful clan - and family and clan is how one gains access to wealth and opportunity that is pretty muuch the result of one commodity. It's light years from the type of rounded, diverse economy that we are used to
