rape victim sentenced to jail

yep, you read me right. rape victim sentenced, not the rapist. not only she had been sentenced to jail for six months but she will received 200 lashes too.

where is this happening? well you might have guessed it – saudi arabia. yep, this is justice the arab’s style – the court sentencing victim. oh right, another correct guess, i guess – ’tis syariah law.

A Saudi court sentenced a woman who had been gang raped to six months in jail and 200 lashes — more than doubling her initial penalty for being in the car of a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.

her ‘crime’? she was in a car with a man who was not her relative. initially she was to be given 90 lashes but had the number of lashes increased. why?

According to Arab News, the court said the woman’s punishment was increased because of "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media."

wah! in what way i wonder.

never mind her explanation on how she ‘get in the car with a strange man’ as long as she was in a car with a strange man, she was guilty. oh yeah never mind if she get raped, who told her to be alone in a car with a strange man – just that made the court sentenced her.
