Default Re: 13yo rape victim stoned to death in Somalia

..and look at all the girls in Africa getting raped, because some idiot said that "bedding" a virgin will rid you of your AIDS.

I think we can all take some of the blame though. These days, will all countries being intertwined as they are, our governments should be able to do more.

I'd rather they deals with that, then the petty non-sense I hear every day.

Can we safely assume that you don't mean an external 'someone', but instead that they must come to these changes themselves? External pressure; good: external intervention; bad.

I think someone already did, but misinterpreted the meaning of "nuke".

No you're right, it is a backwards/intolerant/unjust law system.

Victim drives sleeping rapist to police station

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – A New Zealand rape victim drove her rapist to a police station when he fell asleep in his car after assaulting the woman, local media reported on Wednesday.

Vipul Sharma, 22, was found guilty of abduction and two charges of rape by the Auckland District Court Tuesday, court officials told Reuters Wednesday.

The New Zealand newspaper said Sharma met the woman at an Auckland bar in 2006 and later drove her first to a park where he raped her in the back seat of his car.

After the attack Sharma allowed the woman to drive and fell asleep in the passenger seat, so the woman drove him to Auckland Central police station where he was arrested, said the newspaper.

"She showed a lot of bravery and common sense. I have nothing but respect for what she has endured," police detective Simon Welsh told the newspaper.

(Reporting by Michael Perry; Editing by Bill Tarrant)
Yet in Somalia, *SHE* would be executed because there weren't four male witnesses.

May something sensible happen soon...
