(CNN) -- A schoolgirl in Saudi Arabia has accepted her sentence of 90 lashes and two months in prison for assaulting her headmistress after a confrontation over a cell phone, according to Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan. "The verdict was accepted by the girl -- she did not reject it, which means it will be carried out," Dr. Riyadh Al-Muhaidib, the Head of the Court in the Saudi city of Jubail, told Al-Watan. Al-Muhaidib went on to say that Saudi Arabian King Abdullah could pardon the girl, in which case the punishment would not be carried out, Al-Watan reported. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/24/saudi.arabia.lashes/index.html?hpt=T2
The Saudi Gov. is saying she's at least 20, but the Saudi Watch ORG and Amnesty is saying she's 13. Who will you believe, a lying Gov or a trusted organization.
And what the saudi gov is doing. Remember, this is a thread about a girl being beaten by the saudis for having a phone. While it's sad that these savages think this is even remotely acceptable, or that people like chandan try to defend it, the really sad thing is i don't even feel outraged at this kind of injustice any more, iv'e actually come to expect it from islam.
