In Saudi Arabia, the victim is guilty

A woman in Saudi Arabia who was gang raped 14 times, has had her sentence doubled to 200 lashes and a six month prison sentence because she had the cheek to appeal her original sentence of 90 lashes.

Read about it in the links on the attached notecard. Write to your elected representatives about this disgusting ruling and also write to the Saudi embassy – see notecard for links.

This is a “friendly” arab nation… one from which most of the 9/11 bombers came from.
