Saudi Arabia: Next War Zone?
2007-11-17 02:40:00 In the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia , a 19-year-old female victim of gang rape was sentenced to six months in jail as well as 200 lashes. In the first ruling of the case, the woman was ordered to undergo 90 lashes. However, in a new verdict, issued due to Saudi Arabia ’s Higher Judicial Council issuing a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled her sentence because they found that she was in the same car of a male who was not related to her at the time of her rape as well as “[attempting] to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.” In addition to the sentence given to the woman, the six armed rapists were issued two to nine years in prison, and the woman’s lawyer, Abdul Rahman al-Lahem, was also forbidden to continue practicing law due to challenging the verdict that was already issued. Wahhabism, a strict Islamic doctrine, forbids men and woman who are not related to associate with each other and also ... More About: Zone , War Zone
America: The Country That Kills It?s Citizens

2007-11-05 01:25:00 From September 26-November 4, anti-choice groups and protesters have been picketing outside of Planned Parenthood health clinics.

The Truth About Planned Parenthood
