Welcome to Sudan, where you’ll be sentenced to one month jail for “indecent activity” if you’re unlucky enough to suffer gang rape. On the one hand, you get off “lightly” when authorities suspend the sentence because you’re pregnant. On the other hand, you also get fined $625. That’s what happened to an Ethiopian teenager in that country.
This, from News24:
Hashmi said three men who admitted to having sex with the woman were sentenced to 100 lashes while another man who filmed the acts received the 40-lash penalty for distributing indecent material.
“He was also fined 10 000 pounds and if he doesn’t pay he will be jailed for six months,” the lawyer said, adding two other men were acquitted after the trial in Khartoum.
The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network), a regional association of women’s groups, said the 18-year-old pregnant woman was lured to an empty property and attacked while house-hunting last year.
