Rape Victim, 14, Dies After Public Flogging in Bangladesh
Aol News ^ | February 3, 2011 | Staff

A 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl allegedly raped by a much older cousin has died after being publicly flogged for adultery, media reports said.

Hena Begum was sentenced to receive 100 lashes by a village council made up of elders and Muslim clerics in the district of Shariatpur, about 35 miles from the capital, Dhaka, the BBC said today.

She endured about 80 lashes before collapsing Monday, according to The Daily Star, a Bangladeshi newspaper. Her family took her to a hospital, where she died.

"What sort of justice is this? My daughter has been beaten to death in the name of justice. If it had been a proper court then my daughter would not have died," Dorbesh Khan, the girl's father, told the BBC.

Family members said Hena was raped by a 40-year-old married cousin, The Daily Star said. The man's family beat up the teen, then accused of her adultery, the newspaper said.

The very next day, she was sentenced to the flogging in a fatwa, or religious ruling, issued by the village council under Islamic Shariah law, the BBC said.

Her father was also told pay a fine of about $700, police told the BBC.

Four people, including a Muslim cleric, have been arrested in connection with Hena's death, the BBC said. Police said they were looking for another 14 people in the case.

Bangladesh's high court has ordered district officials in Shariatpur to explain why they did not protect the girl, The Daily Star said. The court ruled eight months ago that Shariah punishment was illegal.

In December, a 40-year-old woman in Rajshahi district died after she was publicly caned for allegedly carrying on an affair with her stepson.

"What sort of justice is this?

Allah's (Satan's) "justice". It is the justice the religion of Islam demands under it's Sharia law.

More even handed justice from the religion of peace. But what else should we expect from third world cockroaches with 5th
grade educations.

It is Allah’s will, it is Satan’s will; one and the same for these animals.

Your reference to Allah (Satan)’s justice is something that I’ve questioned also.

I cannot help but wonder if this is the Anti-Christ mentioned in the Bible.

These situations make me want to vomit...And then adopt a few dozen girls from these third world hellholes!

There but for the Grace of God go I. I have absolutely NO reason to complain about my life. None. Never. Forever and ever.

Islam is ever bit as Satanic as any Satan worshiper, I've ever heard of. Jesus gives life, Allah, through Islam, cruely takes it away.

“America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”
