| Gang-rape: CII seeks toughest punishment |
| 2002-07-07 |
| Terming the gang-rape incident at Meerwala shocking the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) said on Saturday that culprits of this heinous crime deserved severest punishment under the Hudood Ordinance. Shocked! They're just shocked! "This is a shocking incident which has brought disgrace to the whole nation," said a press release issued Saturday. The culprits of the gang-rape witnessed by a whole crowd, deserved the severest punishment under the Hudood Ordinance, the statement added. The perpetrators had openly insulted the injunctions of the holy Quran and deserved an exemplary punishment under Islamic law. Does that mean they're going to stone them? That would be a fittingly barbaric end to a barbaric incident. |
