Punish My Daughter's Rapists or We Set Ourselves Alight: Mother
2012-06-08
[Tolo News] The mother of an 18 year old girl who was repeatedly raped in Afghanistan's eastern Kunduz province has threatened to self-immolate if those responsible are not prosecuted.

"We will burn ourselves if the rapists are not prosecuted," the mother said.

The 18 year old girl was allegedly raped multiple times by men from a local police unit in the province

Her mother named the men, who she said entered their family home to kidnap the daughter.

"One ranger with four [men] came to our house and took the girl with themselves. Sakhidad, Khudadad, Abdul Razeq and Akhtarak took the girl in a military car," the mother told TOLOnews.

"If the government doesn't help us, we will burn ourselves."

The father of the victim also said that a military ranger took his daughter.

"They beat me up, I fell on the ground, they took my daughter and took her away with themselves. They took her to Khudadad's house," he said.

The military attorney office in the province rejected the allegation against the police unit saying that the gang was not made up of the local police, but confirmed they were still investigating.

General Mohammad Sharif Safi, head of the Kunduz military attorney, said that several people including the commander of the local police unit, Ishaq, are under police investigation.

#4  I'm a bit behind with my Islamic Math thingy, but as there were 5 men involved , there must be 4 times that many female witnesses for a case to be made. All witnesses to be disfigured with acid and then hung by the neck until dead. Next.

#3  Might be a smidge more effective to burn the rapists rather than yourself, doncha think?
