| TAIF — Eleven male students were lashed in front of a girls' school, in fulfillment of a court sentence, reported Al-Jazirah. The students were reported to the authorities after repeatedly harassing female students before and after school. Parents in the area expressed their support for this course of action because of their concern for their daughters' safety. For a first offense, the sentence is lashes while for repeated offenses, the punishment includes a jail sentence. Normally they'd flog the girls for getting the boys all worked up. |
