Saudi girl, 13, sentenced to 90 lashes after she took a mobile phone to school
OP - January 20, 2010, 11:56 PM

A 13-year-old girl has been sentenced to 90 lashes and two months' prison in Saudi Arabia after she took a mobile phone to school.

A court ordered the girl to be flogged in front of her classmates following an assault on the school principal, according to the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Watan.

After the assault she was discovered to have concealed a mobile phone, breaking strict Saudi regulatio More..ns banning the use of camera-equipped phones in girls' schools.

Brutal: public floggings, such as in this archive picture, are a common punishment handed down by religious courts in Saudi Arabia

Al-Watan said a court in the northeastern Gulf port of Jubail had sentenced the girl to 90 lashes inside her school, followed by two months' detention.

The punishment is harsher than tha dished out to some robbers and looters.

Saudi Arabia, a leading US ally in the Middle East, is an absolute monarchy controlled by the Al-Saud ruling tribe, and lacks any legal code.

King Abdullah has promoted some social reforms since taking the throne in 2005 but diplomats say he is held back by religious clerics and princes.

Cinemas and music concerts are banned, while many restaurants and even some shopping centres cater to families only, especially on holidays.

Religious police roam streets to make sure no unrelated men and women mix.

The Saudi court system is exclusively controlled Wahahbi/Salafi clerics, and bans the employment of non-Salafi citizens, especially as judges.

Saudi Arabia is the world's leading country in the use of torture-by-flogging, public beheadings and publically crucifying condemned prisoners.

The country crucified two people in 2009, including one in the capital Riyadh during President Barak Obama?s visit last April.

In September, twenty Saudi teenagers who ransacked shops and restaurants were publicly flogged.

Newspapers reported that the teenagers received at least 30 lashes each in a public square.

Most of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks in 2001 came from Saudi Arabia.

Has the underlying social attitude and social structure of the land of Mo changed one iota since he died?

Yeah, it's gotten worse. Saudis had advanced since Mo's time. Sufis were running shit in Mecca and worshipping graves n shit. Keep it real bi'dah. Then this fucktard named Wahab rolled along and really fucked shit up.

Makes me wonder if the Muslims in Europe growing up in Europe their entire life actually understand what Sharia Law really means, because I really don't see any way that any decent human being can be in favour of it...

They don't know. Anytime they go to Saudi, they'll say "This is not real Islam".

I knew something just didn't add up.

Only camera equipped cell phones are banned in girls school in Saudi Arabia. When one is discovered, it's confiscated.

The girl in question, assaulted the Principle with a glass cup when she tried to confiscate her phone.

I'm not supporting the punishment, I'm just pointing out what the punishment was for (assaulting the Principle)

Wouldn't trust a dailymail article on this

Is it true that they use cameras to take pics of girls and sell it to men?
