Día Internacional de la Mujer 2007

La celebración en Arabia Saudita:

The 19-year-old Saudi woman was abducted by a gang of men wielding kitchen knives who took her to a farm where she was raped 14 times by her captors. Five men were arrested for the rape and given jail terms ranging from 10 months to five years by a panel of judges in the eastern Saudi city of Qatif, near the teenager's hometown.

But the judges also decided to sentence the young woman, identified only as "G," to 90 lashes. "G" was told by one of the judges that she was lucky not to have been given jail time. She said yesterday that she would appeal against her sentence.

The woman told the Saudi Gazette that she tried to commit suicide because of her ordeal and was beaten by her younger brother because the rape had brought shame on their family.



Y ahora no me digan que es etnocéntrico y occidental llamar a esto como bárbaro, que hay que respetar a todas las culturas por igual, aunque destruyan a la mujer y pisen sus derechos humanos...
