Our woman in Saudi jail Should we blame ourselves for our plight?
2015-12-07
Saudi Shari ah court has sentenced one of our women there to death by stoning. Her offence was indulging in a sexual liaison out of wedlock with a fellow Sri Lankan. (The man has also been sentenced to 100 lashes)
In generally, sex is a personal matter of adult individuals, in which the State has no say. However, the Saudis have a penchant for capital punishment for many otherwise mundane affairs, including renouncing Islam and blogging dissent etc. Last week, Riyadh carried out the beheading of 50 inmates convicted by their courts on various offences -- not to be outdone by their ideological bedfellows, the slave- taking and blood-soaking terrorists of the Islamic State.
