Persecution

I haven't heard about this case, but it is truly horrific the way that women are persecuted in some countries. The rest of the world should do everything possible to prevent this happening, although I'm not sure how it can be stopped. Religion is used as a weapon to keep women in their place in these countries ie. subservient and with little freedom.

I saw this story on the news a couple of days ago, and in the paper last week. It is a terrible story, the woman seems to have had an arguement with her neighbours, and they accused her of blasphamy in revenge.
People do care about the case, but it is impossible to control the law in other countries. Human rights are violated in the majority of the World's countries, and not much is done outside of a few people from Amnesty jumping up and down. It's especially difficult when the countries concerned are suppossedly friendly (Saudi Arabia) or are ones we trade with heavily (China).
Even if she is freed her life will be in danger; several people freed from prison after being charged with blasphamy have been murdered. Her only real hope is to find another country to take her and her family in.0 -
Bigotry and the use of violence go hand in hand with the slightly extreme end of this religious lot, stoning cutting flippers off people are common occurrences, and my all time favourite is a woman’s word is worth 50% that of a man, and if a woman is raped she needs a male member of her family to witness it otherwise she will get stoned whipped hung etc for the crime committed against her!, way to go Mohamed got woman just where you want them lower than the social status of the family pet!, there was a girl is Saudi that was raped by a group of men a few years ago, she got into a car with them as she knew them, one of the men got a couple of years inside while now get this she got 100 lashes for getting into the car without a male from her family being there with her, she then appealed and the man got an extra few months and she got another 50 lashes for her troubles, how neat is that!, what a great way to do things!, no woman with half a brain would ever complain if they do get sexually assaulted so men are really free to do as they wish without fear of ever getting caught!.0
