-Saudi Arabia: 13 Year-Old School Girl Sentenced to Receive 90 Lashes

A 13-year-old school girl was sentenced by the religious court in Saudi Arabia to receive 90 lashes in front of her classmates after being caught with a cell phone at school.
The girl, from the eastern city of Jubail, was also sentenced to spend two months in jail.
In Saudi Arabia, Sharia law mandates flogging for a number of different moral offences and sentences are handed out at the discretion of the clerics who serve as judges in that country.
Response: Wow, the Saudis really do believe in school discipline don’t they!
Actually this is another example of sharia law at work. Saudi Arabia is known to have one of the most brutal justice systems in the world.
Beheadings and crucifixions are still handed out in special cases along with amputations for theft. Meanwhile floggings are a daily occurrence in that country–all under Islamic sharia law and the auspices of the Wahahbi Imams. *Top
