Pakistan Rape Victim Faces New Injustice

LaFemmeMorte — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:49:37 +0100

Every day, Mukhtar Mai faces the trauma of what happened to her. Nine years ago, to punish her for an affair her brother was accused of having, a tribal council ordered that she be repeatedly raped. After the attack, she says she was paraded past scores of villagers. It became the most infamous women's rights case in Pakistan for years. Six suspected rapists were caught, convicted and imprisoned. Pakistan's Supreme Court has decided that all but one of the men previously imprisoned for gang-raping Mukhtar Mai on the orders of tribal elders should have their convictions overturned.

They have now been released.

Brett Dye — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 16:30:37 +0100

It is my observation that the world is suffering from not living to its highest potential.

We still have racism sexism homophobia and all other forms of ignorance. That ignorance unfortunately permeates nearly every culture in the so-called “developed” countries.

Until we understand how this ignorance comes about then it is possible that we will not able to make a different choice about it.

I think I have one possible explanation of how this ignorance comes about and stays in our culture. It’s not the one and only right explanation, but it is something that I have thought about and I would like to offer it forward for you to think about.

Iranian teenager faces execution for 'false' gay assault charges

mad4vibe — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:07:27 +0100

An 18-year-old Iranian man is facing execution over a false sodomy charge, campaigners say.

Ebrahim Hamidi was sentenced to death two years ago at the age of 16 for an unspecified assault on another man.

Although the allegation was withdrawn and the Iranian Supreme Court has rejected the guilty verdict and execution order, a lower provincial court is insisting on Mr Hamidi's execution.

Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys.
The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.
Police made the discovery in December after a tip-off from an informant, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on its website.
The girl had previously been reported missing.
The informant told the police she had been killed following a family "council" meeting.

Czech School system still condemns Roma kids to education for children with mental disabilities despite court ruling

A new Amnesty International report on the Czech Republic (13 January) reveals that Roma children continue to be largely segregated in inferior schools and classes teaching the curriculum for pupils with 'mild mental disabilities' or in segregated mainstream schools or classes providing education of a lower standard, despite legal and policy changes introduced by the Czech government.
