In Saudi Arabia, a lawyer for a gang-rape victim sentenced to prison has filed a lawsuit against the Saudi judiciary for revoking his license and defaming his client. Abdul Rahman al-Lahem lost his license after a Saudi court sentenced the woman to six months in jail and 200 lashes. The woman was kidnapped and gang-raped by at least seven men. She was convicted of violating Sharia law on contact between men and women. A Saudi court upheld the ruling last week.
