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.

Look, I took it as calling in the national guard to put out a campfire. If you wish to disagree, fine. No one had replied to my argument in the FIRST place, Jhoffa. What campfire was there to put out? Can't a guy post a friggin' reference to another post without the whiny police chiming in?

We know that fantasarians like to try to elevate their ideology to the level of a revealed faith, which is ludicrous.

You think zoyd 'called me in'?
Weird fella. - Bit paranoid maybe?
-- I monitor CJ's posts now & then for the laughs -- and for his outrageous lies about libertarians.
--- Tonight, he was lying about his 'conservative' good will towards individuals who differ with his principles. -- And I was forming that retort as I was pinged.

It's a common tactic.. I see it allot.
If you don't believe then watch the "bushies" closely. I absolutely have to go now though.

You never heard the Oklahoma City bombers condemned? (also for being white supremacists). The president of the U.S. at that time blamed the bombing on Rush Limbaugh, and other right-wingers.
To: What Is Ain't
Completely unbelievable. Yet....I believe it.
Off topic: That gruesome picture of the woman being assassinated in the soccer stadium....I've always wondered why a soccer field that had been closed down for six years still has fresh chalk lines demarking the penalty area. Curious.

....I've always wondered why a soccer field that had been closed down for six years still has fresh chalk lines demarking the penalty area. Curious. The best part is that international goodwill funds built that stadium, in the hope that a good soccer field would help reduce tensions in the area...
