Queensland woman got raped by co workers in the UAE and got jailed for 8 months...

[Miggy]

A woman from queensland got raped by co workers in the UAE. Then she went and reported the rape and got jailed for 8 months for having sex outside marriage. There's a law which the woman was unaware of in UAE that a woman cant claim she was raped unless she has at least four adult male witnesses who were present supporting her. (wut)



"A Brisbane woman is suing a five-star luxury United Arab Emirates hotel, after she was drugged and raped by co-workers and jailed for eight months.

In a landmark case, Alicia Gali, 29, is seeking compensation from her former employer, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort, for breaching its workplace duty of care.

In June 2008, Ms Gali had her drink spiked and was raped by three to four co-workers, while working as a beauty salon manager at the international resort.

When she reported the assault to authorities she was jailed on an adultery charge and spent eight months in prison because it is illegal in the UAE to have sex outside marriage.

Australian embassy staff advised her and her family not to go to the media, during her time in custody, where she was locked in a cell with 30 other women."

should have said yes..

[Skitzo]

LOL, fuckign rag heads. Shit's seriously fucked up.

[Ryan1080]

That's seriously fucked up!

[Mad_Aussie]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds these sorts of stories hard to read without getting really angry. Its like these poor female journos in Libya etc at the moment, having all sorts of atrocious shit happening to them due to their shitty view of how to treat women.

Should just nuke the whole fuckn middle east and be done with it.

[satch]

After the shit I've heard from my old man after he worked in dubai for 2 years, would never go, not even on a holiday.

I hope she cleans them out.

[Skitzo]

I disagree on the nuking Mad_Aussie. Quite a lot of attractive middle eastern woman. Would be a shame.

Fair point - one of my friends is from Dubai, and she's pretty fuckn bombed...
Hopefully this "wave of human awakening" sweeping the middle east goes further than just government changes and pushes for a more laterally thinking public. Can't see it happening though.

[Tre-Cool]

dirty sand niggers..

I wish I was raped ...

Hmmm, sick deviants out there would get an idea to organise a group buy packages for rape holidays over there. Fly there with mates, rape a few chicks, admit nothing as no witnesses (the only ones were you), get away scot free and fly home happy.

Who's up for it?? just kidding, it's bad mmkay!

Maybe she shouldn't have lead him on...


Seriously though, that's fucked.

No sex before marriage, no beer, no bacon. No wonder they hate western civilization...

[Skitzo]

Man, if i was told i wasn't allowed bacon, i'd crash a plane into a fucking building as well.

[Miggy]

LOL

[V70R]

This has happened many times before.
It will happen here soon with the way things are heading.

[ben351]

LOL ... noticed how you didnt complain about the no sex part.

[Scaf]

What a load of shit.

not to the same extent but i remember hearing/reading about a couple who were jailed over there for kissing in public or something stupid like that!!

[stumps.]

Pretty sure they were fucking on the beach

[Mad_Aussie]

Pretty sure they were fucking on the beach

Only illegal if you get caught

[duste]

Surely there should be a clause whereby that 'law' is unenforceable if the sex was not consensual?

[Ryan1080]

No law like that.

What I'd love to see is the judges who handed this sentence (as well as the rapists themselves), if someone could rape their wives/girlfriends/daughters and report them to police. Would be a nice big FUCK YOU revenge lol!

[Miggy]

The guys who did the rape would have to be charged with the the same offense of having sex out of wedlock as well?

[ben351]

Please .... I was sitting there with a boner your honor and she tripped and landed on it.

Case .... Closed.

[Niva]

ticket....booked

Not if they weren't married?

[shifted]

That is so pathetic. It is sad to see that in today's age humanity has not evolved anywhere forward, instead it supports itself off of useless, outdated principles that have no place in current society and continues to allow the de-evolution of human consciousness.

Funny though, SAS soldiers get caught doing something illegal.... somehow make it back to their country. Woman gets caught doing something illegal that is actually an immoral act done upon her, goes to jail.

Wow.

She's alright!

On one hand, can't blame the towelheads for getting an urge, since all they get to see on the street walking around are 'penguins'...

[satch]

No, as posted above, she needs 4 males as witnesses to confirm she was raped.

So in the eyes of their fucked up law, she cried wolf and got locked up for it.

[V70R]

Whereas in Australia you get paid $$$ to tell your story if you're an 18 year old football sex groupie.

[shifted]

Thought you had to be a 17 year old football sex groupie? And then you can try to get to hollywood?

[Brockas]

He used the Jim Jefferies quote, just ignored the beer part cause he doesn't like beer anyway.

[DanWA]

fucking muslims

o fek, you're correct. 17

[Mad_Aussie]

fucking muslims

Actually in this case, it's Muslims Fucking...

[V70R]

Actually in this case it was 2 Indians and another Dubai foreigner.

[baz]

I knew we should have nuked the muslim fuckers right after 9/11.! (and yes.. I know this happened in another country, just nuke them all and take their oil I say!)
See what happens when these pieces of shit arrive in numbers......... http://www.youtube.com/embed/A3YQANdvvbY

People keep saying "it will never happen here".... just like they said in Britain and France. now look at these countries ! Time to start taking stock people.

However.... I still think the really strange thing with the video is that this French chic has not given up........French being "surrender monkeys" and all!

[BIGS]

4 guy's? Seriously? you would have to wonder in what scenario would 4 guys be bystanders... Ok don't answer that but I'm sure you get what I mean.

[Fukushima]

can someone please point out one good thing that comes from the subcontinent?

(apart from the food)

if not can we just nuke the fuckers?

The mrs aunty is married to one of the original gladiators and lives over there with him.. She is also smoking hot. Would hate to hear of something like this happening to her, fucking disgusting rules and regulations.

[ho57ile]

How can you need 4 witnesses to charge the men with rape but none to be jailed for having sex before marriage? pingpingpingpings need to get out of the middle ages.

[xr06t]

should really be a travel warning for all muslim countries. people just don't know how fucked their laws are.

[thrtytwo]

that is plain fucked up

[BIGS]

Not familiar with it but quite sure their own religious beliefs or teachings can be used as a defense to undermine this so called law of theirs.

[thrtytwo]

religion > law

sounds like a great system...

[BIGS]

Actually law really is based off religious principals. Just in this case non sensical and seemingly misinterpreted, assuming Koran is their supposed source.

I thought it was based on common sense and good morals? You can have good morals without religion.

[BIGS]

Not disputing that, I could of worded it better. Their laws are (Islamic) hence religious and more specifically our moral principles are influenced by the Torah (10 commandments).

[HANS YOLO]

people sook hard about folks coming here and not adhering to our way of life...

i guess in the same token we should stay out of their country and don't fuck with their laws and system - its their country - its their law - don't like it? Fuck Off, They Are Full??

just saying...don't agree with it at all, think its bullshit what has happened to this poor girl; but double standards are gayer than aids

I See the point your trying to make.

Sadly common sense is not so common. Even though we don't have stupid blatant laws for something as serious as this case, we still have more injustices than you can poke a stick at, in which some cases if 'common' sense had been allowed to prevail would not of happened.

I understand what you mean by saying double standards....

But end of the day - that is an immoral act. Common sense seems to be lacking... stuff that like should not be occurring in any country in this day and age.
