Saudi Court Orders 79 Lashes for Tortured Maid

Lost Budgie sends us this:

Meet Nour Miyati - an Indonesian woman working as a maid in Saudi Arabia, who has just had fingers, toes and parts of her foot amputated due to gangrene.

Miss Miyati's hands and feet developed gangrene because her Saudi employer (slave master) tied her up for a month as punishment for not cleaning the house as well as expected.

Now, Miss Miyati has been sentenced by a Saudi Islamic Court to 79 Lashes for "falsely accusing" her slave master of mistreating her...


That's the religion of peace and tolerance for you.
