Where is the UN Human Rights Council on this barbarity?
The Independent reports:
Indonesia has introduced a female flogging squad to punish women who violate Islamic law. …
In a separate lashing, a woman who was sentenced to 30 lashes fell unconscious during her punishment for being found “in the company of a man other than her male guardian”.
I’m not sure what is more barbaric – flogging or having it being a crime for a woman to be in the company of a man.
This is the sort of human rights violation that the UN Human Rights Council should be loudly condemning, rather than their fixation on one country.
But will we hear a word?
Well by coincidence Indonesia is a member of the UN Human Rights Council.
