Gang-rape victim in Somalia stoned to death for alleged adultery
Some sickening news from Somalia (via Hot Air Headlines):
A girl who said she was gang raped has been stoned to death in Somalia for alleged adultery, a human rights group has said.And nothing is done about it. I wouldn't be surprised if the adultery part was contrived by the assailants in order to justify their savage, disgusting murder.
Dozens of men reportedly pelted the 13-year-old Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow with rocks in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in Kismayo.
Amnesty International said the Islamic militia in charge of the city had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her.
Initial reports said Duhulow was 23, but her father told Amnesty that she was just 13.
