A BRAZEN CLERIC NORMALISES MARITAL RAPE

A Muslim cleric has issued a fatwa ordering a woman to agree to sex with her husband even if they are on the back of a camel, as he denounces the idea of marital rape as 'made up by European people'. Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria claims that, according to the Prophet Mohammed, a wife can only refuse her husband sex if she is menstruating, sick or just given birth. Her right to say no, he asserted, was lost the moment her father handed her to her new husband.

Zakaria told Malay Mail Online: 'Even the Prophet says even when they're riding on the back of the camel, when the husband asks her, she must give.

'So there's no such thing as rape in marriage. This is made by European people, why should we follow?' Unsurprisingly, his religious edict and outrageous comments have horrified many in his home country of Malaysia and beyond.

Writing in MalaysiaKini.com, Joshua Teh, an advocacy officer at the Women’s Centre for Change in Penang, said: 'Have we not provided excuses for rapists long enough? 'We need to recognise that women, both married and not married, have the right over their own bodies, and that includes the right to reject sex. 'To turn a blind eye to that right is to reduce the woman’s dignity as a person and to further normalise the prevalence of sexual crimes in our society.

FOUR PEOPLE SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR MURDERING A WOMAN WITH ALBINISM

  Zawadi Mangidu, 22, was killed by a gang in north-western town of Geita

  Her husband was among the group who carried out the savage attack 

  Group killed Mrs Mangidu so they could sell her body parts as charms

  All four now face execution as Tanzania cracks down on albino murders 

  75 people suffering from albinism have been brutally murdered in the east African nation over the past 15 years
Four people have been sentenced to death in Tanzania after brutally murdering a young albino woman in order to harvest her body parts as good luck charms.

Zawadi Mangidu, 22, was killed in north-western town of Geita by a group that included her husband, who is among those due to be executed.

There is no guarantee the death penalties will ever actually be carried out, however, as the east African nation has had a moratorium on executions for the past 21 years.

The conviction comes just days after Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete promised to end a wave of killings of albinos, saying the witchcraft-related murders are shaming Tanzania.

ALBINOS' FATE IN TANZANIA REMAIN UNCERTAIN



Besides the public outcry on the victimization and barbaric killings of Albinos in Africa, particularly Tanzania, the perpetrators seem to be unconcerned and as such their lusts to kill continue affecting the feelings of Tanzanian well-wishers. Indeed ignorance lies at the centre of all albino killings as the perpetrators believe organs from albino bodies have magical power to make them rich.  This is utter nonsense and stupidity as any sane person could have asked himself if a small portion of an albino fresh will make one rich why hasn’t the albino himself –who posses all parts, become rich?. In fact, most albinos in Tanzania live in abject poverty contrary to the richness their organs are purported to posses. It is my sincere believe that elimination of Witch Doctors will be a major achievement in the struggle to stop albino killings as they are the main cause for the BIG LIE that albinos to be targeted by evil people who are ready to enrich themselves at any expense.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!!

AHUKUMIWA KIFO KWA KUMUUA ALIYETAKA KUMBAKA

Reyhaneh Jabbari mwenye umri wa miaka 26 amehukumiwa kunyongwa baada ya kukutwa na hatia ya kumuua mtu mmoja ambaye alifanya jaribio la kumbaka. 

 

Taarifa iliyoripotiwa na CNN inasema mwanamke huyo amenyongwa katika gereza la Tehrain, Iran ambapo alikuwa amefungwa baada ya kutenda kosa hilo mwaka 2007 wakati huo akiwa na umri wa miaka 19.
 

Mwanamke huyo amekutwa na hatia hiyo kutokana na kosa la kumuua aliyekuwa mfanyakazi wa wizara ya ulinzi na usalama nchini Iran, Morteza Abdolali.
 

Shirika la kimataifa la haki za binadamu Amnesty International limelaani kitendo cha Iran kutoa hukumu hiyo, ambapo mbali na jitihada ya kampeni mbali mbali zilizofanywa ikiwemo zile za kwenye mitandao ya kijamii katika kuipinga hukumu hiyo kuonekana kutozaa matunda.
 

Taarifa kutoka nchini humo zinasema mahakama ilitoa hukumu hiyo baada ya kutojiridhisha na utetezi alioutoa mahakamani kwamba alitenda kosa hilo akiwa anajilinda.
 

Utafiti wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa mwaka 2011 unaonesha Iran ni moja ya nchi zinazoongoza kwa ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu ambapo nchi hiyo ina wastani wa kutoa hukumu ya kunyongwa mtu 1 kila baada ya masaa 8

THE EVIL NATURE OF FGM

http://www.mgf.uab.es/eng/fgm_c.html

FGM/C is mainly performed in 28 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and in parts of the Middle East and Asia (Yemen, Oman, and Northern Iraq, as well as parts of India, Malaysia, and Indonesia, among others). However, with the migratory movements, what once was local is now global: FGM/C is in Diaspora and it is found in Europe, Australia, United States of America, etc. where migrants bring along their cultures.

Where is FGM/C practiced?

·

What are the different types of FGM/C?

The World Health Organization classified FGM/C into four types, dependent on severity:

·         Type I: partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or prepuce (clitoridectomy);

·         Type II: partial or total removal of the clitoris and labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora (excision);

·         Type III: narrowing of the vaginal orifice with creation of a covering seal by cutting and appositioning the labia minora and/or the labia majora, with or without excision of the clitoris (infibulation);

·         Type IV: all other harmful procedures done to the female genitalia for nonmedical purposes (e.g., pricking, piercing, incising, scraping, dry sex and cauterization).

What are the consequences of FGM/C?

All types of FGM/C have consequences that undermine the health and well-being of newborns, girls, and women throughout their lives. The practice has a negative impact on child and maternal health, increasing the risk of childbirth complications and newborn deaths.

·         Short-term complications

Severe pain, shock, haemorrhage, urine retention, infections such as tetanus or sepsis

·         Long-term complications

Chronic pain, recurrent bladder and urinary tract infections, keloids, fibrosis, primary infertility, psychological sequela/trauma, HIV/AIDS
