Saudi King Abdullah has pardoned a rape victim who had been sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in prison in a case that sparked international attention. When you hear that, you must just be amazed. How can a woman who was raped, be sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in prison? That is just completely ridiculous as it shows the restricitions placed upon woman under strict Islamic law. Luckily, under all the pressure from various countries around the world the King of Saudia Arabia pardoned this poor woman.
Maybe this King, who seems to have an idea about how the world works, will give women the rights they deserve. I'm sure it will take alot of work to give women the rights that they deserve as it has been part of society for a very long time.
