Sudanese Rape injustice - I'm smelling sharia law
And it stinks - even more alarming? I actually find myself in agreement with people like Gov. Bill Richardson of NM and Refugees International ....I'm telling you, you'd better repent for the end is surely near...
The Washington-based organisation Refugees International today has released a report - "Laws Without Justice: An assessment of Sudanese laws affecting survivors of rape" - looking into the Sudanese legislation. The analysis came to shocking conclusions on how rape victims in Sudan are denied justice, especially in war-ravaged Darfur.
The study resulted from a January meeting between Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. During this visit, the officials in Sudan's Ministry of Justice extended an invitation to analyse the government's purported efforts to address sexual violence against Sudanese women. Refugees International president Ken Bacon, who was in the Richardson delegation, accepted this invitation, and lawyer Ms Fricke and Amira Khair, a Sudanese human rights advocate, met in Khartoum in March to interview people with knowledge about the crisis of rape in Darfur. "
After a week, the Sudanese government turned uncooperative and gave 24 hours to leave the country," the organisation however claims.
Rape of Darfuri women on a mass scale is one of the hallmarks of the conflict in Darfur. Several analysts claim it is part of a calculated plan to destroy communities and contributes directly to ethnic cleansing.
If a woman cannot prove that she did not consent to intercourse, she can be accused of adultery - a crime that carries a sentence of one hundred lashes or even stoning - even if she was raped.
Sudan's laws also grant immunity to members of the military, security services, police and border guards. Many members of the Janjaweed militias that carry out the worst atrocities in Darfur are integrated in the Popular Defence Forces, which is also exempt from prosecution. The Khartoum government also was said to "harass organisations who work with rape victims and doctors who provide medical treatment to raped women."
The dead giveaway this study and article was written by a bunch of lefty sympathisers?
The word Muslim Mohammedan was not mentioned ONCE despite the fact that Sudanese rape laws are clearly based on Sharia law and the Janjaweed are Mohammedans.
