13 Yr. old girl sentenced to 90 lashes for cell phone.

Saudi girl, 13, sentenced to 90 lashes after she took a mobile phone to school. The article doesn't say why it's against the law so I just have to guess that the Saudi's don't want any pictures taken in their girls schools. Also what confuses me is how did they find this on her after she made an assault.

"A court ordered the girl to be flogged in front of her ****ates following an assault on the school principal, according to the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan.

After the assault she was discovered to have concealed a mobile phone"

Sounds like she was beaten for assaulting the principal, not bringing a phone to school.

Am I reading this wrong?

Any source other than Daily Mail reporting this story?spazzx625

Here's one. I can probably find more.

Sounds like you read it correct. She was searched. I wonder what their procedure is for searching 13 year old girls.

Man, you have no idea how much I wish that would happen here...well, maybe just 10 lashes.FragStains

woot! we agree on something

I still think teachers should be able to smash student's cell phones

I'm a horrible person.

It's hard to believe we're in the year 2010 when barbaric things like this still happens.

[QUOTE="Mochyc"] Of course, she was an absolute idiot to assault the principal. It doesn't change the fact that this is unjust. She's 13 and can't even take care of herself, and shouldn't be expected to be the brightest crayon in the box. You can't honestly say that giving the principal a bruise deserves 90 lashes, can you?Famiking

Exactly, two wrongs don't make a right. I don't see how it justifies what happened.

Annnddd we wonder why the Muslim world lives the way they do. But shame on us for water boarding right? I can just see the Amnest International f*** somehow spinning this into the US's fault.

Also keep in mind which country has one of the lowest (juvenile) crime rates in the world

:lol: I love the way at the very end they put in that quick jab about terrorists. Ah Daily Mail will you ever cease being so pathetically sensationalist.

I just spilled Canada Dry all over myself from laughing so hard. :lol:

Ok so let me get this straight.. You giving out to them for doing something like this, then you say why should we get given out to when we torture people. Hmm pick a side, don't pick and choose. It's either wrong to torture or all right. (Psst torture is wrong and shouldn't be used, in fact you are more likely to get false information)

What is the last line in that article doing there? :?Dark__Link

That's what I was thinking, I don't know how anyone could take this article seriously with that there. Such an underhanded slight.

And I lived in that country for six dreadful years. :|
