Seven Afghans sentenced to death for gang-rape in Kabul

A court in Afghanistan has handed the death penalty to seven men accused of for raping and robbing a group of women who were returning from a wedding theguardian.com.
As per the police, the group of men, some of whom were dressed in police uniforms, and with assault rifles, had stopped a convoy of cars in which the women were traveling along with their families in the district of Paghman, just outside Kabul, last month.
The men dragged four women out of the cars in the middle of the night and raped them in the field near the main road – one of the victims was pregnant. Moreover, the assailants beat up the women and stole their jewelry and mobile phones. This has been termed as a rare case of sexual assault that has shaken the capital and raised concerns over public security at a time of transition. Hence, exemplary punishment of death penalty has been awarded.
Such a crime of gang-rape of women in the open is totally not in the culture of Afghanistan and the trial was televised nationwide – the seven men were convicted the men of armed robbery and sexual assault.
President Hamid Karzai had assured a delegation of women last week that the perpetrators of the heinous crime would face execution.
