Remember the girl who was gang raped and sentenced to 90 lashes for being alone with an unrelated male when attacked? She made the mistake of appealing the sentence:<blockquote> JEDDAH, 15 November 2007 — The General Court in Qatif yesterday doubled the number of lashes for a rape victim as well as jail terms for her assaulters. In its verdict, the court also suspended the victim’s lawyer from defending her.</blockquote><blockquote> The Appeals Court sentenced the victim to 200 lashes and six months in prison. The seven rapists had their sentences increased to between two and nine years.</blockquote><a href="http://arabnews.com/?page=1&section=0&article=103556&d=15&m=11&y=2007&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom" rel="nofollow">arabnews.com</a> I’m afraid that’s not the only horror story coming our of Saudi Arabia recently.
