Anyone else noticed the lack of condemnation from the powers that be over this attrocity.
A woman is raped 14 times in Saudi and SHE is sentenced to 6 months in prison and 200 lashes.
In short, this is because she shouldn't have been there (under sharia law) in the first place. Her lawyer has had his license revoked for escalating it and she had her sentence doubled becuase escalation was deemed 'manipulation by the media'.
This isn't a rant against the obvious abuse of human rights (yes, yes, it's PC gone mad etc) by the judgement but about the failure of our political parties to say anything against the Saudis.
Had this been in Iran then the NL spin machine would have been all over it but because Saudi is on 'our side' nothing is said.
Hipocrisy at it's finest.
fliping disgusting
