Punish the Victim?

(CNN) -- A court in Saudi Arabia increased the punishment for a gang-rape victim after her lawyer won an appeal of the sentence for the rapists, the lawyer told CNN.
The 19-year-old victim was sentenced last year to 90 lashes for meeting with an unrelated male, a former friend from whom she was retrieving photographs. The seven rapists, who abducted the pair, received sentences ranging from 10 months to five years in prison.


Can you say stone age?

I don't even think the stone age committed such atrocious crimes.

What the $%&* were they thinking?? She just MET him. They freaking RAPED her and she gets physically hurt more than they did!
