Raped, Kidnapped and Silenced

[dogday]

No wonder the Pakistan government can't catch Osama bin Laden. It is too busy harassing, detaining - and now kidnapping - a gang-rape victim for daring to protest and for planning a visit to the United States.

Last fall I wrote about Mukhtaran Bibi, a woman who was sentenced by a tribal council in Pakistan to be gang-raped because of an infraction supposedly committed by her brother. Four men raped Ms. Mukhtaran, then village leaders forced her to walk home nearly naked in front of a jeering crowd of 300.

1. another 8-15-04 ..16 year old retarded girl hung in the street for adultery

she had not lawyer at all during the 'trial'.. she was executed by a public hanging in Neka, Iran.. actually i found a lot about gang rape and Islam.. there are a lot of articles from France in particular.. just type in 'gang rape and Islam' and 'gang rape Islam'

etc... it appears to be a phenomenon.


actually this story started when some rich kids beat up a poor kid and later figured they might get in trouble so they made up a story that they beat him up because "HE" had an affair with a rich woman.. His punishment was to have his sister gang raped by the rich men..

2. Doesn't Bush

consider Pakistan an alley in the "war on terror"? So they punished the woman for something the man did? These people are sick fucks. And the rightwing wants their version of Christianity in our government? I'm Christian but I don't think so! Of course you don't ever hear Bush talk about "freedom on the march" for something like this. And if Laura was sent over there she would come back and say "oh everything's fine." Just like with Afghinstan and then a few days later a bad report came out. :mad:

5. I think SHE should be on the cover of TIME,

not that skinny pig RW harlot that they had on last month. Musaref and Pakistan should be exposed and exposed and exposed on this. If we didn't have degenerates in White House and Congress, Pakistans F-16s and foreign aid would be withheld until she was released. That is how how a real democracy would react to this barbarism.
