it reminds me in a way of the honour killings in turkey and elsewhere, not exactly the same but the results, very unjust execution, all the same. for similar things here women were hidden in convents etc in the 40's, 50's and 60's, really nasty time.

>Harrowing docu last night.
>In a nurtshell, as I saw it:
>
>A 16 YO girl, first arrested for chastity crime for being in a car with her male cousin.
>In jail, apart from 40 lashes and that, jailors sexually abused her.
>Arrested again for another minor "offence" - same stuff as I recall.
>Meanwhile her middle-aged (uncle?) used to take her in the car and sexually abuse and rape her.
>Finally "neighbours" get up a petition to have her arrested for constant lewd behaviour, though none had signed it (suspected later it might have been the chastity police).
>
>Whilst being beaten she "confessed" to having had intercourse outside marriage (with her uncle who raped her).
>Case rushed through with indecent haste (with court notes stating she was 22, while other docs proved she was 16) and she was executed.
>Old Manner of stoning considered old-fashioned fashioned so she was hanged.
>But they don't do it with a trap-door and drop - a mobile crane, in a public place, noose on the hook, hoist them up.

>I was so upset and absolutely disgusted with this regime and Sharia Law,. As far as I'm concerned you can stick it where the monkey put the nut and, if the US did attack Iram, I wouldn't be protesting!
