13 year old girl to be lashed 90 times for bringing cell phone to school

We need more of this in America. Stupid uppity kids with their cell-phones.

I read the article to indicate that she was the perpetrator of the assault.

According to Reuters, you and MC are right. The cell phone was apparently confiscated first, then she "thumped" the principal with a cup (??)... and then she was sentenced for the assault.

RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court sentenced a teenage girl to 90 lashes and two months in jail after she thumped her school principal on the head with a cup, a newspaper said on Wednesday.

The incident happened last year in the eastern city of Jubail after the headmistress confiscated the girl's mobile phone because it had a camera which is banned in Saudi schools, Al-Watan newspaper said.

I notice them most when they can't steer with a one hand to make a turn.

That's the Daily Mail for you, as if getting 90 lashes for hitting the principal on the head with a cup wasn't outrageous without the 'cell phone' angle.
