N.O.R.F Posted May 2, 2007 Qatari to be executed for raping teenage daughter By Barbara Bibbo', Correspondent Doha: A Qatari man has been sentenced to be executed by firing squad for raping his teenage daughter, local newspapers reported here yesterday. The criminal court - a three-member panel of judges presided over by Mamon Hamour - condemned the 43-year-old man on Monday, according to the English daily Gulf Times. The court said in the verdict that the man "had used his paternal authority to abuse the victim for years". The man was arrested on November 8, 2006, following a complaint from his son, who had caught the father abusing the girl. The victim told the police that the father had been abusing her for five years. Complaint The girl's mother told the police that she had filed a complaint against her husband in early 2006, but the accused was released after a month in jail. The convict, who has remained under detention since his arrest last November, denied the charges, accusing the daughter of plotting against him because he did not allow her to smoke. Death penalties in Qatar are imposed by the unanimous decision of a criminal court, especially in murder-related cases and drug trafficking. However, the law imposes the death penalty also for rape, a judge of the criminal court told Gulf News yesterday. "In some cases, the court can condemn rapists to death. It is considered the highest punishment and it is imposed especially in cases when the abuse has been repeated over time and it involves family members and minors." The judge in the criminal court, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, said cases of rape are on the rise in Qatar, especially among Qatari nationals. "Cases of rape, including incest, are becoming more frequent. I believe this is due to the fact that the traditional society is suffering from a cultural shock, mainly due to the growing presence of immigrants. Values and habits are rapidly changing and violence in increasing." source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
