> Kementerian Kehakiman Saudi Arabia membela putusan hakim yang menghukum
> seorang perempuan berusia 19 tahun korban sebuah pemerkosaan beramai-ramai
> dengan 6 bulan penjara dan 200 cambukan. "Kejahatan" si korban adalah "berada
> bersama seorang laki-laki yang bukan muhrimnya" di sebuah mobil ketika mereka
> diserang oleh 7 orang yang kemudian memperkosanya beramai-ramai.
>
> Pada mulanya perempuan itu dihukum 90 cambukan, tapi hukuman itu diperberat
> karena perempuan itu mengadu kepada media massa.

> Sistem hukum di Saudi Arabia memberikan peluang kepada hakim untuk memutuskan

> si korbanlah yang menggodanya-
>
> Human Rights Watch di New York mengatakan, "keputusan itu mengirimkan pesan

> The Shiite Muslim woman had initially been sentenced to 90 lashes after being

> But in considering her appeal of the verdict, the Saudi General Court

> But the Ministry of Justice stood by the verdict Tuesday, saying that
> "charges were proven" against the woman for having been in a car with a man
> who was not her relative.

> The ministry implied the victim's sentence was increased because she spoke
