Pakistan's supreme court frees gang rapists
NINE years after being gang-raped on the orders of a village council, Mukhtaran Mai's struggle for justice ended on Thursday when Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered five of the six accused to be freed.
This [verdict] shows that you can commit any crime, even in front of 100 people, and get away with it,'' said Fouzia Saeed, a women's rights activist. ''Every day something like this is happening in Pakistan … The jirgas [village assemblies] will be encouraged by this verdict.''
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan recorded 791 honour killings of women in 2010; at least 26 of the women were raped or gang-raped before being killed.

Mai's ordeal began after a more powerful clan accused her 13-year-old brother of having sex with one of its young women.
The woman's brother, Khaliq, and two other men then sodomised him in a sugarcane field.
There appears to be no basis for the original accusation.
A tribal council was assembled from Khaliq's clan, which ordered that Mai be punished for her brother's illicit sex by being raped, on the basis of eye-for-an-eye justice. Khaliq forced Mai into a stable at gunpoint, where he and other clan members raped her.
She then was paraded naked around the village.

Absolutely sickening what goes on in certain parts of the world on a daily basis.

I think if people want to rape gangs, that would be okay. It would ease the burden on the police force.
