Gang-rape of teenager ordered as punishment for brother's sins

A teenage girl was gang-raped in central Pakistan last month as "punishment" meted out by a tribal jury for her brother's alleged affair with a woman of a higher tribe, police said.

A Panchayat, or tribal jury, ordered four men, including one of the jurists, to rape the 18-year-old girl on June 22 in the village of Meerwala.

Meerwala lies 610 kilometres south-west of the capital Islamabad.

District police chief Malik Saeed Awan said authorities were informed of the publicly-ordered gang-rape several days after the incident.

He said four men took turns to sexually assault the girl inside a room. She was then ordered to return home naked before 1,000 onlookers.

The rape was to avenge the "insult" caused to a family of the Mastoi tribe by the girl's brother's alleged "illicit affair" with a woman of a higher social standing.

The girl and her brother were from the lower Gujjar tribe.

The Panchayat had threatened that all women in the accused's family would be raped unless the 18-year-old submitted herself to the public gang rape.

Awan said police were taking action against members of the Panchayat.

Lawyers visiting the tribal area on Sunday urged the authorities to prosecute the rapists and the jury.

She will probably then be stoned to death if a pregancy ensues from the gang rape.

How much more evil can these creatures become?

Just keep in mind the mindset of these people. Then consider that if one of them steps foot on our land they can appear in a commercial claiming to be an American. We are the biggest saps on the face of the planet.

Just when I think I can't be shocked any more, I hear something like this. I guess that'll teach him a lesson.

Yup, and once there are enough of them here, they'll try to revert us to the stone age with them.

Why wasn't HE gang-raped, in the wonderful, peaceful way of the Holy Sodomite, Mohammed?

Oh no, this isn't Islam!!!!

I'm sure this will be explained away as just one of those "tribal" things.
