Blessed Posted December 17, 2007 King Pardons Rape Victim. The "Qatif girl" case caused an international outcry with widespread criticism of the Saudi justice system. The male and female victims were in a car together when they were abducted and raped by seven attackers, who were given jail sentences up to nine years. Press reports say King Abdullah's move did not mean the sentence was wrong. The BBC's Heba Saleh says the king's decision to pardon the woman victim is already arousing controversy with some contributors to conservative websites, who say he has breached the rules of religion in order to appease critics in the West. Hmmm..! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allamagan Posted December 17, 2007 ^^ of course he done all this in order to appease his critics in the west. Nothing to be expected from Saudi justice system. We will never forget our 6 somali brothers who were lashed 100 times each, then served 6 yrs in prison for a crime they never committed, then instead of releasing them their throats were cut out. May Allah rest them all in peace. The whole world is aware of the injustices of the saudi system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
