"The following day the woman and her father went to the police, who have now launched an official investigation.

An arrest warrant has now been issued for the members of the tribal council, and the woman taken to a refuge away from the village."

I hope justice will be done for this woman, and that the alleged rapist will be also brought to justice.

I don't own a gun , but if anything would inspire me to get one it would be to help her even the score against those assholes and the rapist....

Really detest cultures that subject women to such awful existences....

It seems like trump would be fine with this type of treatment for women. Well, at least it sure seems like it.

Other than a few sharply worded letters, Pretty much every president since Carter has let Pakistan alone with regard to human rights.

Usually with the justification that we need them on our side against communism and later terrorism.

the public beheading of a woman, accused by her husband of killing their daughter. I'm suspicious, no trial, just the husbands word.
You guessed it, Saudi Arabia
