2,080 lashes for man who raped daughter
2011-12-11
An official Saudi newspaper says a man convicted of raping his daughter has been sentenced to receive 2,080 lashes over the course of a 13-year prison term.
Good. Lay the strokes heavily. Let him feel in the stripes on his back every moment of those thirteen years.
The court in the holy city of Mecca found the man guilty of raping his teenage daughter for seven years while under the influence of drugs.

The Okaz newspaper reported on Saturday that the man will receive the lashes in stages throughout his prison sentence. The man's name was not published.

Saudi inquisitors religious police say the girl's uncle tipped them off to the crime.

Lashing is one of the penalties available to the holy mans who serve as judges in Soddy Arabia and issue rulings according to the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islamic law.

#4  So basically he'll have an open wound every moment for the next 13 years.

Don't suppose the Magic Kingdom has considered the option to self-terminate (viz. Escape From New York) as a somewhat less barbaric innovation? Correct me if I'm being a dingbat bleeding-heart liberal here, but two wrongs don't make a right.

#3  Well, you figure 13 years times 335 days (a month off for Ramadan, and 48 Fridays a year (624 days, (excepting those during Ramadan) off as well), is 3731 days, divided by 2,080 lashes, is a lash about every 1.8 days.
