Justice?

So, I was nearly physically sick when I read the news articles about this.  A 19 year-old woman in Saudi Arabia was the victim of being brutally gang raped 14 times by armed attackers.  She pressed charges, and is now sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail.  Yes, you read that right....SHE is going to jail and being whipped.

I can't even wrap my head around this right now, but this girl is in my prayers and my book of heroes for standing up for herself and demanding her day in court.

Here's a link to the first article...there are lots more with varying degrees of detail.
