Woman Faces Jail Time for Having Been Gang Raped

Despite whatever other matters will inevitably be raised. One thing is certain: utter ridiculous and simply as unjust as it gets.

It makes one realise that there are serious considerations to keep in mind when travelling abroad, in regards to nations whose laws are ludicrous.

The particular situation of that young woman makes it hard to respect the local laws from the outset: I think an extraction team should be sent in, the rights of the local police be damned.

It's funny, the saying of "not throwing stones" is originally a rebuttal of those wishing to condemn a woman in an analogous situation.

Instead of sitting on one's hands, a firm 'no' is probably going to help, rather than letting her rot in jail, while we pathetically ponder our own politics.

And if she cannot afford the lawyers fee, she will go to debtors jail.

I will add this to my list of reasons why UAE is a horrible place.
