First, the middle east:
Rape victim sentenced 200 lashes by Saudi court

The statement also said that the "charges were proven" against the woman for having been in a car with a strange male, and repeated criticism of her lawyer for talking "defiantly" about the judicial system, saying "it has shown ignorance."


Her lawyer tried standing up for her. Guess what happened?

The womans lawyer, Abdul Rahman al-Lahem, reached out to the media. The court has since banned him from further defending the woman, confiscating his license and summoning him to a disciplinary hearing later this month.

The justice ministry implied the victim's sentence was increased because she had spoken out to the press. "For whoever has an objection on verdicts issued, the system allows to appeal without resorting to the media," said the statement carried on the official Saudi Press Agency.


Well, some good news:
Update: Since publishing this article it has been reported that Saudi King Abdullah took note of the negative media coverage surrounding this case and that resulted in his direct intervention in the case and the pardoning of the woman.


Now the bad news.

How much better are we over here?

Fuck...read for yourself.

Even the Anonymous people are getting pissed off. Problem with those people though: how long until they mistakenly go after an innocent person?

I have no idea if this tabloid article is right, as I'm too lazy to research it, but if it is true, it could help knock at least the Saudis on their asses a little bit.

The more of the rants I read there, the more I think: Yep, tabloid.
