Sudan: Woman Whipped In Public For Wearing Trousers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s0R3rfQMOI&feature=player_embedded

The video offers a rare glimpse of the type of punishment inflicted on women who break the country's strict morality code.

The victim was punished under Sharia law for wearing trousers under her Islamic clothing.

The footage shows her crawling on the ground, raising her arm to try to ward off the attacks and screaming as the whip strikes.

The public punishment sparked protests among females against laws they said humiliated women.

Dozens of them were arrested.

The governor of Khartoum said there had been a mistake in the way the victim's punishment had been carried out.

Sky's foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said: "It is a frequent occurrence but very rarely filmed.

"The punishment is under laws brought in 1991 for indecent behaviour - it is justice under those laws."

s well as pain and humiliation, the video also shows, how for some, it is entertainment, as a man is shown laughing at the woman after she is whipped.

Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir is wanted for alleged war crimes.

He came to power in an Islamist-backed coup in 1989. Two years later he extended Sharia laws.

The laws are enforced by his puritanical public order police, who seek out what are known as "trouser girls".

"Despite claims of morality they have a reputation for dishonesty and demanding sexual favours," Marshall explained.

Last year, a Sudanese woman, Lubner Hussein, became an overnight heroine for many women in Africa and the Middle East, when she challenged the laws and dared the courts to flog her.

She ended up being fined for wearing the trousers to court.

"The government appears to be furious that these images were filmed, despite ordering thousands of such whippings every year," Marshall said.

"As a result, its launched an investigation saying there was a mistake in the way the filming was carried out."

However, it is unclear if this refers to the filming, the public spectacle, or the fact that on at least one occasion the woman is struck in the face.

Danno, do you really advocate to control women by flogging them as your post title implies?

Violence against women is NOT cool, man.

NOT OK. :bonk:

BOING!

What in my post title amounted to "advocacy"?

Pretty sure Danno thought he had a clever jab at the Liberal Left going with his thread title.

The victim was punished under Sharia law for wearing trousers under her Islamic clothing.

Don't blame God for this; there is nothing in Sharia that allows for punishing women for wearing trousers under loose clothing. This decision may have been from fiqh, but it's clear that, as usual, the author knows nothing of the difference between Sharia (immutable divine law) and fiqh (fallible legal opinions discerned from a variety of sources for better or worse).

That video was really upsetting to watch. I wish I could have jumped thru the screen and got that lady out of there. Those guys just didn't stop whipping. :(

the laws of God ( any God) do not condone this- and even if they did, surely the decency of man does not.

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!

very sadly what we just saw is what some men do when they put their own meaning to what something says and are on a power high

it will never be the women in this country or any other country that has laws against women like this that changes things it will require education of the men!

just my opinion
