Liz is a poor young 16 year old teen who was walking home from her granddad’s funeral. She was ambushed by a group of six young men who took turns to brutally rape her and then toss her unconscious body down a deep toilet sewerage pit. Liz was able to pick at least three of the abusers out of a line up. Of course the boys were punished – they had to mow a lawn at the police station and then let go!!! Is this justice??!!! The rape was so brutal that Liz now requires a wheel chair to get around. When toss in the sewer, her back was broken. She also has internal injuries that cause her to leak urine and stool. She has sustained very severe injuries and the perpetrators are back out on the streets to commit the crimes all over again. The Police Commander Halima Mohamed is investigating into why the officers responded to this case as they did. When the girl was discovered by passersby and brought to her mother, police told the woman to clean up Liz “so that the vital forensic evidence would be destroyed” and not used against the suspects! This is indeed very shocking and unbelievable. People of Kenya are outraged because these kids and the police who seemed to condone their actions have yet to be brought to justice. The police failed this young girl as they have many other similar cases. Because of the lack of Kenya laws deterring sexual assault and punishing the abusers, the acts continue on a regular basis. The National Media Group offered to cover Liz’s medical bills and launched a campaign to get the attackers and abusers prosecuted. Let us all alert the government of Kenya to stop the brutality on women and make the abusers and the inappropriate officers accountable for their actions! Until they do, nothing is going to change to protect the women and children of Kenya. Let’s all work together to ensure justice is done and that Liz’s nightmare marks a turning-point in Kenya’s rape epidemic. Nobody has been brought to justice -- not the rapists, and not the police. Today, we change that. Let's stand with Liz right now, before her attackers and the police escape. Please sign and share this petition to demand justice for “Liz” who was raped by 16-year old! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/552/997/081/justice-for-liz-tell-kenya-to-prosecute-16-year-olds-rapists/?z00m=20657366
You're welcome, I signed the petition. Your post brought me back to the site! Also, don't forget about this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Delhi_gang_rape http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/10/23/india-girl-rape-fire/3175779/ It's fortunate to know that these kinds of things don't happen in advanced countries like the US, Germany, Australia, etc. I wonder why these kinds of acts happen in countries with lower socioeconomic standards?
hahaha! :mrgreen: Yeah, ask latasha harlins. I sense that your comment was meant to bait, but anyway, there ya go
