Insult to Injury

A woman who was gang-raped by eight men is now facing public caning in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

The men reportedly caught he 25 year old widow having sex with a married man in her home.  They beat her and her partner, doused them with sewage and then turned them over to police.

Under Sharia Law, a local judge says she now faces up to nine stokes of the cane for violating laws against extramarital relations.

If there is any justice in this story at all, the eight rapist/vigilantes also face punishment – up to 15 years in jail.  Three are in custody and the other five are being sought.
