A Saudi court sentenced a local man to three years in prison after he was convicted of raping a nine-year-old girl, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
The man denied the charges, saying he grabbed the child’s hand for protection and wanted to take her to her apartment in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah.
The girl told court that he kissed her and took her to the rooftop of the building where she lives before raping her.
The judge rebuffed the defendant’s claims and sentenced him to three years in prison after police records showed he had been jailed before on charges of molesting a boy.
How does one define justice ?
This week a woman got sentenced to death but man only got lashes
That is not true. Just recently a maid servant from Indonesia faced execution which led to the Indonesian government placing a ban on maid servants from their country taking up jobs in S Arabia.
I have witnesses justice bending double in Saudi Arabia for two groups of people. The one group are men, and the other group are women.
I have witnesses justice bending double in Saudi Arabia for two groups of people. One are the Saudis and the other the western lot. I also feel the victim in this case may have been a foreigner possibly an Asian, otherwise the case would have taken and different turn with the man made to face the sword had a Saudi girl been raped. The other group who hail from the west receive a "Royal Pardon" even if they have murdered somebody in the kingdom. Death by the sword in S Arabia is just for people from third world countries.
Or, a forced member of the mission to Mars would also do justice.
Life imprisonment would have been just.
My point exactly.. Has a previous conviction also .. The world is indeed strange
Oh boy !
Only 3 years ? Is tat justice ?
