Except you don't need 4 witnesses to get a rape conviction in Dubai. You can use traditional evidence or DNA based evidence. See the link I posted earlier. I get that horrid injustices still take place and things need to change, but when some of you guys use websites like TheBlaze as your go to source of information, I have to wonder what sort of people you are. A site that is run by right wing lunatic Glenn Beck.

And glad to see this women get pardoned. I knew she would tbh. Sure things will keep improving in Dubai as it becomes more of a global force.

And what? get up to the high conviction rates in the more progressive world? Rape conviction rates are surprisingly low, in countries such as the UK. I'm picking the UK, cause I live here. It's around 6%. Going up to about 13% depending on how you interpret the statistics.

We've had this debate. Quite a few times now.
