A 19-year-old woman was abducted and gang-raped by seven men.The SentencesThe Victim: She was initially sentenced by a Saudi court to 90 lashes and 6 months in jail for violating strict Islamic laws that prohibited women from being alone in a car with an unrelated male. When her lawyer appealed to seek harsher penalties for the rapists and the case went to the media, the court increased her sentence to 200 lashes and six months in prison, claiming she was trying to influence the judiciary.The Attackers: The seven men convicted of the gang rape initially received sentences ranging from 10 months to 5 years. Following the appeal, their sentences were increased to terms ranging from two to nine years.The Global ResponseThe ruling sparked massive international outrage and condemnation from human rights organizations, world leaders, and activists. Organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International strongly criticized the justice systems in countries that prosecute victims for sexual assault under "morality" laws, advocating heavily for institutional reforms and victim support over punishment.Rape victim sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jailNov 17, 2007 — This article is more than 18 years old. · Saudi woman punished for being alone with a man." |
