Saudi rape victim 'having affair'
Saudi justice officials say a woman who was sentenced to prison and flogging after she was gang-raped has now confessed to an extramarital affair. The case of the unidentified woman, 19, drew international criticism after an appeal increased her 90-lash sentence to 200 lashes and six months' jail. The justice ministry statement rejected "foreign interference" in the case. It insisted the ruling was legal and that the woman had "confessed to doing what God has forbidden".

Oh she ‘confessed’ did she? That would be a ‘confession’ in Saudi Arabia, the country with a very long history of torturing confessions out of people, oh why didn’t you say so, it makes the whole thing so much more acceptable – of course you should whip a woman 200 times for being gang raped because she ‘confessed’ to adultery – why on earth were we so harsh on poor Saudi Arabia – probably anti-Muslim western sentiments OR it could be because this is a despicable affront to reason and human dignity and is just one more reminder of the disgusting oil addicted relationship we have with an extremist fundamentalist regime who can piss on Human Rights with a freedom matched only by the United States.
