Saudi Kidnap, Rape Victim Faces Lashing for 'Crime' of Being Alone With Man Not Related to Her
A 19 year-old Saudi woman who was kidnapped,beaten and gang raped by seven men who then took photos of their victim and threatened to kill her, was sentenced under the country's Islamic based law to 90 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with a man not related to her.
The woman is appealing to Saudi King Abdullah to intervene in this controversial case.
"I ask the king to consider me as one of his own daughters and have mercy on me and set me free from the 90 lashes," the woman said in an emotional interview published Monday in the Saudi Gazette.
"I was shocked at the verdict. I couldn't believe my ears. Ninety lashes! Ninety lashes!" the woman, identified only as "G," told the English Language
newspaper.
Five months after the harsh judgment, her sentence has yet to be carried
out, "G" said she waits in fear every day for the phone call telling her to
submit to authorities to carry out her punishment. Lashes are usally spread
over several days. About 50 lashes are given at a time.
The woman's ordeal began a year ago whenshe was blackmailed intomeeting a man
who threatened to tell her family they were having arelationship outside wedlock,
which is illegal in the desert kingdom, according to a report in The Scotsman
newspaper.
She met the man at a shopping mall and, after driving off together, the blackmailer's
car was stopped by two other cars bearing men wielding knives and meat cleavers.
During the next three hours, the woman was raped 14 times by her seven captors.
One of the men took pictures of her naked with his mobile phone and threatened to
blackmail her with them.
Back at home in a town near the eastern city of
did not tell her family of her ordeal. Nor did she inform the authorities,
fearing the rapist would circulate the pictures of her naked. She also
attempted suicide.
Five of the rapists were arrested and given jail terms ranging from 10
months to five years. The prosecutor had asked for the death penalty for
the men.
The Saudi justice ministry, however, said rape could not be proved because
there were no witnesses and the men had recanted confessions they made
during interrogation.
The judges, basing their decision on Islamic law, also decided to sentence
the woman and her original blackmailer to lashes for being alone together
in his car.
How can any one, in their right mind, want to even live under such an idiotic legal system?
