Woman, three men executed for 'adultery' in Khyber |
2007-06-05 |
A young woman and three men were publicly executed on Monday in Khyber Agency after a private organisation declared them guilty of adultery. Members of the Sipah Eslahi (Soldiers of Reform) Committee, which is regarded as a sister organisation of Lashkar-e-Islami, carried out the public executions in Speray Dam with up to 40 shots fired at the “guilty people,” eyewitness said. The executed were not blindfolded when the five-man squad opened fire on them in front of what a member of the organisation said were around 500 “faithful”. Haji Jan Gul, a member of the committee said the executions were aimed at “keeping the area clean of such vices”. “The committee caught the three men and the woman red-handed in Alamgudar village when we raided a house after an informer told us about unethical activities taking place in the said house,” Gul told Daily Times. This was the second public execution this year. |

#9 Our former President (slick Willie) wouldn't fare to well over there. Are you kidding? Bill would make a great Iatoldyaso. Stick a turban on his head, give him an flock of worshipers and he'll reel off a four hour speech without breaking a sweat. The big holy men get multiple young brides, and you can dump the old one by just saying so three times. Just don't tell him, ok. |

#5 Sexecutions - sounds like something out of a William S. Burroughs novel. Of course, much of what goes on in the ME could have come from the pages of a Burroughs novel... |
