Sentenced for fornication

Girl with fifteen year old sentenced to one hundred lashes* to fornication out of wedlock, in a zone Maldivas, a religious place. This girl, has been violated for her stepfather and another man. Why even want to cancel the punishment the law, religion and other conservatives demand that match the punishment.

On men called Adhalaat say that they must turn a deaf ear to the international organisations which are calling to abolish these penalties, labelling them degrading and inhumane acts or torture.

I think I speak for many people when I say that, first, is shameful* condemne a girl because she has been violated. And Secondly, This Kind of punishment against women should be abolished*.

Lashes: picar amb un fuet.

Shameful: vergonyos.

Abolished: abolit.
