Saudi Gang Rape Victim Has Sentence Doubled

,
The two hundred lashes on top of everything else doesn't bear thinking about, poor lass.


An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped......

But the victim was also punished for violating Saudi Arabia's laws on segregation that forbid unrelated men and women from associating with each other. She was initially sentenced to 90 lashes for being in the car of a strange man.

On appeal, the Arab News reported that the punishment was not reduced but increased to 200 lashes and a six-month prison sentence.more

Update from the land of darkness.
