Sabera: I was flogged 101 times ( ROP - Afghanistan )
RAWA ^ | December 22, 2012

she was raped.

...

Sabera is a resident of the Jaghori district of Ghazni province. About four months back, she was accused of having illicit relations with a 24-year old boy and was flogged under the orders of clergymen and local influential people in a field court.

This matter drew serious reactions from the government of Afghanistan, the National Assembly and human rights organizations around the world.

While talking to Sabera, I asked her what she was thinking when she was being flogged in front of hundreds of people?

She answered, “They took me to a desert. There were many people there. There were clergymen and school students, that made them about 2000 people. When they were flogging me, I felt the pain in the first ten but then it became normal. They flogged me 101 times.”

Although Sabera is living safely and far from the eyes of the local people, she fears for the safety of her family.

She says that the Taliban had threatened her father that if he did not give them Sabera, they would kill him.

Meanwhile, Sabera talks about the injustice in her case and the release of the boy who according to her, raped her.

This young girl criticized the government, National Assembly and human rights organizations, saying they have remained silent about her case, “I request the government to help me, to give me my rights. This is not fair, really. What happened to me was not what I wanted. But I don’t know what will happen to me. Human rights (organizations),the parliament are all sitting silently. They are not talking about my case.”

The 24 year old should have been flogged. I notice this story doesn’t mention the age of the girl.

SOP for crimes against humanity committed in the name of Islam. Actually they went soft on her; rape victims are stoned to death most of the time.

But we must remember it is THE religion of peace.

24 year old boy? If someone had called me a boy when I was 24 that would have offended me.

She says that the Taliban had threatened her father that if he did not give them Sabera, they would kill him.

***
The fathers that I know would not have given her up to those animals in response to such a threat.

It is a miracle she’s alive. God must have plans for her.
