Gang-Raped Indonesian Woman May Be Caned Publicly

The 25-year-old widow said she was raped by eight men who allegedly found her with a married man in her house. The men reportedly beat the man, doused the two with sewage, and then turned them over to Islamic police in conservative Aceh province.
The alleged attack occurred early Thursday in Lhokbani, a village in East Aceh district.
The head of Islamic Shariah law in the district, Ibrahim Latief, said his office has recommended the widow and the married man be caned nine times for violating religious law, pending an investigation. Its preliminary finding was that the two were about to have sex at that time, but Latief contended they violated Shariah law by being in the same room together. He said they also admitted they had sex earlier." -AP

This story speaks for itself. All women around the world are aware of the slippery slope of being thought of or engaging in being sexual. The men who gang raped her felt entirely justified to inflict sexual punishment for her alleged sexual behavior. Will any of them stand trial and be caned for their crimes? Doubt it. Enough said.
