[vinnomot] Re: [khabor.com] Read this news in Saudi Arabia to understand what Sharia law will do to a woman

Be it in India, Bangladesh, Saudia Arab or else where; the incident such as one happened in KSA is a gross violations of human rights and even minimum level of civility. I don't understand why Mr Ahmed is so keen on using political rhetoric before condemning such a barbaric act.
 
Let sense prevail everywhere in everyone.

Dear All:
 
Definitely human rights are violated in Saudi Arabia, but overall crimes including murders, homicides, rapes, thefts, robberies, etc. are far less than any other developed nations or even insignificant than India today. Ordinary people’s life in Saudi Arabia is safer than the citizens of any other democratic and rich countries. Although many sentences were increased in reviews or in appeals from trial judgments in western and democratic countries in recent years, but as being sensible human persons we should not encourage the increase of punishments or sentences in any country (including in Saudi Arabia) if the “minimum sentence” can meet the purposes of “justices”.
 
Perhaps, Dr. Biplop Pal prefers to support “un-natural” activities within his human society (such as, “Man marries dog in India” with “traditional Hindu ceremony”) than “shocking” sentences of other nation(s) even if those sentences are applied for “justice” and deter crimes. Also, Dr. Pal has failed to notice that the “State of Bihar” in India is known as one of the most horrifying, lawless and notorious territory in this world now. He is not shocked at all for the crimes that are causing murders, homicides, robberies, extortions, rapes, theft in every single minute in Bihar, India today.

In a shocking verdict, a Saudi Court has ordered a gang rape victim to undergo 200 lashes and six months in prison for "being in the car of an unrelated male" when the crime was committed.
The 19-year-old victim was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes by judges from the Qatif General Court, but the case was referred back to an Appeals Court after her lawyer had urged a harsher punishment for assaulters, the Arab News reported.
In its verdict, the court, which punished the victim for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape", also suspended her lawyer.
The seven rapists, whose previous sentences ranged from 10 months to five years in prison, also had their prison terms increased to between two and nine years. The verdict came in as a shock to everybody.
A source at the Qatif General Court said the judges had informed the rape victim that the reason behind doubling her punishment was "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media", the report added.
Saudi Arabia enforces a strict Islamic doctrine known as Wahhabism and forbids unrelated men and women from associating with each other, bans women from driving and forces them to cover head-to-toe in public.
