Last week, I wrote about the case of a Saudi woman who was sentenced to flogging and prison time after being raped.
Now the Saudi government is trying to justify the brutality of its 12th Century justice system:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — The Saudi Justice Ministry announced that a girl gang raped by seven men and then sentenced to six months prison and 200 lashes for adultery had confessed to cheating on her husband, in its latest response to the negative international reaction to the incident.
The statement, which was carried by the Saudi Press Agency late on Saturday, confirmed that the flogging sentence against the rape victim would be carried out and condemned foreign interference.
“The Saudi justice minister expressed his regret about the media reports over the role of the women in this case which put out false information and wrongly defend her,” said the statement. “The charged girl is a married woman who confessed to having an affair with the man she was caught with.”
Which, in their minds, justifies treating her this horribly. Screw diversity, these people are barbaric.
