Iran girl gets 100 lashes for sex
HA'TIP - Mr Drudge...A teenage girl and two young men in Iran have been sentenced to lashes for having sex. The court dismissed the girl's claim that she was raped. It said she had sex of her own free will, the official Iran Daily newspaper reported. The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said. OK - We don't whip people here, but I'd put her in a nasty prison for the false accusation. Sex outside marriage is illegal in Iran and capital punishment can be imposed. The young men in the case were sentenced to 30 and 40 lashes each. Capital punishment can be imposed? Sounds like the mystic mullahs are jealous... Rights violations The Iran paper quotes the girl, who has not been named, as confessing: "I trusted one of these young men, whom I got to know by phone, and went to his place. Geez. Innocent by reason of ignorance and stupidity??? "But because he betrayed me, I filed the case against him and his friend out of revenge." International concerns continue to be raised about women's rights in Iran. Not so wise girl. In December the UN General Assembly voted to censure Iran for human rights violations, including discrimination against women and girls. Tehran rejected the criticism as propaganda. Under Iranian law, girls over the age of nine and boys over 16 face the death penalty for crimes such as rape and murder, while capital punishment can be imposed in certain cases of illegal sexual relationships. Age of consent for sex for girls is 9? Death penalty? Shows the degenarate nature of the ROP, I guess... Posted by: BigEd 2005-02-24 |
