Sex in the Saudi: elderly woman to receive 40 lashes for associating with men

Seventy five year old Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi is set to receive a flogging of 40 lashes for associating with men. She either had the unmitigated gaul to ask a younger man to accompany her to the market or worse, ask him to carry her bags home. Remember the mixing of cucumbers and tomatoes is a criminal offense under sharia. The minister of the interior, Prince Nayef bin Abdul Blah Baalaah, Barf- Up-iz-Arse Aziz has ordered the immediate detention of the elderly woman along with two Saudi men known only as Fahad and Hadyan.

Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, 75, to be flogged for associating with men

HUMAN rights watchdog Amnesty International has called on Saudi Arabia to stay a sentence of 40 lashes handed down against a 75-year-old woman for breaching the kingdom’s sex segregation rules.

HUMAN rights watchdog Amnesty International has called on Saudi Arabia to stay a sentence of 40 lashes handed down against a 75-year-old woman for breaching the kingdom’s sex segregation rules.

“The minister of the interior (Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz) is reported to have ordered the immediate detention and flogging of a 75-year-old woman, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, along with two Saudi Arabian men known only as Fahad and Hadyan,” the London-based watchdog said.

“The Saudi Arabian authorities must not carry out the imminent flogging and imprisonment of an elderly woman and two younger men.”

Amnesty said all avenues of appeal had been exhausted in Saudi courts against the trio’s March conviction for being in the company of members of the opposite sex who were not close relatives.

“It is abhorrent that an elderly woman is at risk of 40 lashes,” said the deputy director of the watchdog’s Middle East and North Africa Program, Philip Luther.

“We urge the authorities to prevent the imprisonment and flogging of Khamisa, Fahad and Hadyan.”

Sawadi and Fahad were sentenced to 40 lashes and four months’ imprisonment, and Hadyan to 60 lashes and six months’ imprisonment, Amnesty said.

Sawadi also faces deportation to her native Syria on completion of her prison term.

Saudi Arabia enforces a strict version of Islamic sharia law and imposes corporal punishment for a wide variety of offences.
