Basic human rights

From, of all places, the evening news: In Saudi Arabia, a female rape victim is punished for speaking out.

I was aware that equal rights for women are nonexistent in Saudi Arabia, but I never knew it was this bad. As it stands, it's basically impossible for a woman to see her rapist prosecuted; she's more likely to be convicted herself for "illegal mingling." The story chills me to the bone, because I've always taken certain rights for granted. Even in Communist China, the law is more fair and their justice is absolutely just in comparison.
