take a simple action and save the saudi arabian girl from al-qatif...

you have heard about “the girl from al-qatif” survived being kidnapped and gang raped, no?

so how did a court in saudi arabia ensure that justice was served?

they found her guilty and sentenced her to receive 200 lashes in addition to serving a 6-month prison term...when 7 men kidnapped the 19-year old, she was accompanied by a male companion, who was attacked and released...after her companion was set free, "the girl from al-qatif" was raped repeatedly...

in the eyes of the court the offense known as khilwa - being found in private with a member of the opposite sex, who is not an immediate family member - is a violation that far outweighs the crimes of gang rape and torture...


peace out <3
