Disgusting! They need some serious political and social reform in Africa.

Catnap26 · 25/10/2013 12:38

Absolutely disgusting!!!

FreakinRexManningDay · 25/10/2013 17:25

My first thoughts were devestation for the poor girl but no shock at the sentence. Disgust and despair yes but not shock. Wtf is wrong with the world? How can they not see their own nonsense? When will women and girls stop being seen as sex holes,especially in these cultures of disturbing mysogeny? When will the men cop the fuck on?.

I've just been watching the numbers go up on the petition, I've never seen a petition where the numbers increased so much i the time it takes to add your details.

alexandrafarrow · 25/10/2013 22:11

Disgusting beyond belief.

grimbletart · 26/10/2013 18:42

Bumping this thread: the petition is now over 630,000 and still rising.

caramelwaffle · 26/10/2013 19:57

The petition is now being signed by around three hundred people a minute around the world.

Such a sad, sad case.

NulliusInBlurba · 26/10/2013 20:08

Thanks for bumping: petition signed. I noticed that a lot of signers are male (or at least have male names) - that has to be a good sign.

Are you seriously joking on a thread about something so despicable? Or are you hairy of hand?

tippytap · 27/10/2013 08:34

Don't feed it....

RalphGnu · 27/10/2013 09:14

Signed and shared.

PacificDogwood · 27/10/2013 09:16

Horrible.
But sadly not surprising.
Signed.

KillerKoalaFaceFromSpace · 27/10/2013 09:27

To be honest, sadly and unbelievably I think it's a step in the right direction that she was believed, not punished for being a victim and any sentence was carried out at all.

It's a complete disgrace how women in some countries are viewed and treated and I hope that with pressure from the rest of the world these governments will start to take the rights of these women seriously.

It's heartbreaking isn't it?

caramelwaffle · 28/10/2013 13:15

I agree Killer

Yay! And with the very first response someone has extrapolated blame for this one, dreadful Kenyan case to the whole sodding continent. Would you say that about Europe if there were an awful rape case in, say, Bulgaria?

We need some intersectionality on this bloody FWR board.

scallopsrmissingAnyFucker · 28/10/2013 15:10

I don't think yougotbale does intersectional Eldritch. Tbh I don't think he even acknowledges female oppression.

EldritchCleavage · 28/10/2013 15:12

Ooooh, have I fallen for a goadyfucker ploy? Sorry.

scallopsrmissingAnyFucker · 28/10/2013 15:14

No don't worry. The comment made my teeth itch too.

TellMeWhyBuster · 28/10/2013 16:47

Well over a million signatures now!
Bumping in the hope of attracting a few more.

bump. Poor girl :(

APartridgeAmongThePigeons · 28/10/2013 22:07

Holy fucking hell. why do I feel like if she had "only" knocked unconscious and thrown down a well the punishment would have been worse?
