Arab Saudi girl, 13, sentenced to 90 lashes after she took a mobile phone to school.

A 13-year-old Saudi schoolgirl is to be given 90 lashes in front of her classmates after she was caught with a mobile camera phone.

The girl, who has not been named, was also sentenced to two months in jail by a court in the eastern city of Jubail.

She had assaulted her headmistress after being caught with the gadget which is banned in girl schools, said Al-Watan, a Saudi newspaper. The kingdom's use of such punishments has been widely condemned by human rights organisations.

Three years ago 16 schoolchildren, aged between 12 and 18, were each sentenced to between 300 and 500 lashes for being aggressive to a teacher.

Under Saudi's Sharia or Islamic law, flogging is mandatory for a number of moral offences such as adultery or being alone in the company of an unrelated person of the opposite sex. But it can also be used at the discretion of judges as an alternative or in addition to other punishments.

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-Saudi ruling tribe, and lacks any legal code.

@NationNewsAgency

@NationNewsAgency

the proper quran you retard dont know actually treats the woman as a qween

[Jofph]

Jolly good religion the Islam...-((( It allows men to treat woman as a minor category in society. for nothing as innocent as taking a mobile to classes. That's why my Iranian neighbour fled his country 20 years ago to live in Holland. He was captured for 6 months and tortured just by protesting against a policeofficer. It wasn't his fault in the trafic accident he was in. Where's justice? There's no justice in Islamic countries.

@NationNewsAgency You coward Kuffar blocked fightermma, and expect that you won the debate? It's obvious YOU ARE THE LIER, and you do not want to be proved wrong, shame...

[NationNewsAgency]

@fightermma - YOU are an Idiot-

Typical muslims illogical excuse READ THE QURAN IN FULL. -

Did the Quran said beat your wife - answer YES.

Loser

[NationNewsAgency]

@fightermma - YOU ask for it, The reference below in the QURAN explain how to BEAT your wife or wives if you are a muslim men.

I find that "idrib" is used 12 times in the Quran. Beginning at 2:60 (Using Ali's translation)

2:60 - "strike" the rock with thy staff...

2:73 - "strike" the body

4:34 - refuse to share their beds, "beat" them...

38:44 - and take in thy hand a little grass and "strike"

I think you should leave ISLAM

[NationNewsAgency]

@fightermma -

The Actuall Quran was burned down by the Othamman rulers and remade a new version of the Quran which you have now.

[fightermma]

@NationNewsAgency Your pathetic actually read the Quran in full before your next statement. People this guy is obviouslly out on amission to propogate falsehood and to try and defoul Islam.
