90 Lashes To Teach Her A lesson!


A Saudi court has sentenced a 13-year-old Saudi schoolgirl to 90 lashes and two months in prison after she was caught with a mobile phone equipped with a camera.


The girl, who has not been named, is sentenced to 90 lashed in her school in front of her classmates followed by two months in detention.


The sentences come after she was caught with a cell phone equipped with camera. The gadget is banned in girls’ schools.


The austere desert Kingdom’s use of such punishment has been widely condemned by human rights organizations.


The world has witnessed several cases of human rights violations. In 2006, a Saudi teenager was sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in prison after she was the victim of a gang rape.


The judge sentenced the female victim to more lashes than her assailants. A court had originally sentenced the rapists to jail terms of between 10 months and five years.


Publicity and publication of the event changed the 19-year-old girl’s situation. The court had originally sentenced the woman to 90 lashes, but increased the punishment after an appeal, saying the woman had tried to use the media to influence them.


In March, 2002, at least fourteen schoolgirls died at a school in Saudi Arabia after religious police stopped them from fleeing a fire. The religious police maintained that they could not leave the building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress.


Saudi Arabia appoints religious police, commonly known as mutaween, to patrol public places in teams to enforce the Kingdom’s brand of ultra-conservative Islam.


In February, 2008 religious police arrested a Saudi psychology academic for having coffee with a female student. He faced 180 lashes for the act.


Contact between unrelated Saudi men and women in public places is severely restricted. It is an illegal act in the Kingdom which enforces a strict Islamic moral code.


In an April, 2008 report, Human Rights Watch documented that the guardianship system requires Saudi women to obtain permission from male guardians before they can carry out a host of day-to-day activities, such as education, employment, travel, opening a bank account, or receiving medical care.


The report demonstrated the negative consequences for women whose guardians – fathers, husbands, brothers or male children – refuse to give such permission.

I did read that in another forum.
I think 90 lashes is way too much for breaking the school's laws. The student should be punished for breaking the laws but not like that!!! Whats wrong with those people??
Unless there are some hidden facts that were not mentioned in the story made them give her such a punishment!!! But even though, a 13 years old is still a minor!

As far what I understood, the news is not clear, meaning other reports say that she isn't girl and assaulted a teacher. So let's not share it around and throw our opinions; it is an obligation upon us that we confirm a news before trusting its validity.

sister Aayah, may Allah preserve you, on what basis do you say that 13 years old is a minor?

Thats why I said: "Unless there are some hidden facts that were not mentioned in the story". But from the other Arabic sources I read, the story is the same! I am still feel that there is something fishy on that story.

Did anyone have another source? share please.

Talking about these days kids, "I" think 13 years old is still considered as a minor to get such a punishment....also considering the crime she did. They should think about it very carefully.

Thats my personal opinion anyways.

may Allah help us
we are faced at times with being a bit to conservative (even which al-Awlaki affirmed in one of his talks) along with a media frenzy cult constructed to hurt Islam.

the two entails some gross results, the highest of which is putting doubt in the Muslims emaan, and they are successful in this regard as many muslims fall victim to this phenomenon.

I wish there was some kind of actual reporting overthere so as to correct misinformation that gets put on the tabloids

assalam alaykum,

I think the story is either incomplete or fake. Further I have not seen any buzz regarding this story in the saudi society.

Maybe she had bad videos in her cellphone which was the main cause of the punishment.

^ not even here since we are neighbours! When I told my family about the story they were amazed that no one heard the story from the local Media!
