Saudi Says Rape Victim Was Adulteress

[Contrary1]

Which, of course; excuses barbaric behavior in Saudi Arabia. :puke:
Well, that and then there's this: "The woman and her husband were "convinced of the verdict and agreed to it."

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia's Justice Ministry said a girl who it sentenced to jail time and flogging after being gang raped by seven men was an adulteress who invited the attack because at the time she was partially dressed in a parked car with her lover.

The statement from the ministry, carried by the Saudi Press Agency late Saturday, defended the court's decision to sentence the girl to six months in prison and 200 lashes for violating the country's strict sex segregation laws.

It also sought to ease international outrage over the case by discrediting the woman who had told reporters earlier that she was meeting a friend from high school when the attack occurred.

"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 defended her," the statement said. "The charged girl is a married woman who confessed to having an affair with the man she was caught with."

3. So that makes a gang rape a-okay?

:wtf:

So is Bush going to invade on behalf of the women of Saudi Arabia? I didn't think so.
I hate it when he acts like part of our agenda in Afghanistan and Iraq was to improve the
human rights for women. What a complete crock of shit.

On edit: I am not advocating an invasion, in case someone didn't get my :sarcasm: .

9. The really sad thing is that conditions for women haven't improved in Afghanistan

And have worsened in Iraq. Meanwhile, women continue to be brutalized by our 'allies' in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Then you have neo-con asswipes like Dinesh D'Souza who claim that women have too much freedom in the West, which is enraging the Muslims. :crazy:

7. It may not be much, but here's something we can all do:

Contact the Saudi Arabian Embassy in DC. Saudi Arabian Ambassador, Adel Al-Jubeir, in Washington D.C. at [phone]

Or

Consulates General in: New York at [phone], Los Angeles at [phone], Houston [phone]

Let our voices be heard and put the Saudi government on notice that the world is watching them.
