| Pakistani woman's ordeal in Saudi jail |
| 2002-08-20 |
| The fate of a 27-year-old Pakistani woman reportedly languishing in a Saudi prison remains uncertain as repeated requests over the past five months by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan to the governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia seeking information on the status of the woman have failed to generate any response. Gulzar Asgher, wife of Muhammad Rauf, was reportedly arrested on the complaint of her father-in-law, Allah Ditta, on charges of committing adultery. What's with these Muslim women? They can't keep their pants on? Is that why they have to keep 'em locked up? Allah Ditta has allegedly demanded one million rupees from her parents for withdrawing the charges and sending her back to Pakistan. Doesn't he sound like a nice fellow? "Pay up, or we'll stone the bitch." |
