SAUDI RAPE VICTIM FALLS VICTIM TO SAUDI COURTS AS WELL

A rape victim in the House of Saud has now been sentenced to 90 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with a man not-related to her:
A 19-year-old Saudi woman who was kidnapped, beaten and gang raped by seven men who then took photos of their victim and threatened to kill her, was sentenced under the country's Islamic-based law to 90 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with a man not related to her.

The woman is appealing to Saudi King Abdullah to intervene in the controversial case.
I find it unlikely that this awful king will do anything to overturn her sentence. We however can certainly intervene by calling out for help for her! This woman does not deserve to live in the kind of slavery situation she's in, and should be freed from Saudi Arabia as well.
