When a Girl Is Executed … for Being Raped


Shocked, outraged--wondering how people get more excited about the Final Four than this kind of thing that happens everyday... Thanks to all those who strive mightily to fight injustice... (and grateful for those of my friends who fight against this kind of stuff everyday--you know who you are)

We’re all focused right now on Libya and budget battles at home, but this story from Bangladesh just broke my heart and outraged me — and offers a reminder of the daily human rights struggles of so many women and girls in villages around the world. A 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl, Hena,allegedly was ambushed when she went to an outdoor toilet, gagged, beaten and raped by an older man in her village (who was actually her cousin). They were caught by wife of the alleged rapist, and the wife then beat Hena up.
