A 40 Year old woman in Yemen was executed by firing squad for killing her husband in 2002. Her daughter is now 14 year old . It means she was only 7 when this crime happened. According to Yemen law she could have been pardoned if any of her children agreed .Under pressure from fathers family they did not.
I wonder what kind of laws are being practised in Yemen.Women have to resolve to murder to get their husbands from abusing children.Children who are helpless and dependent on remaining members of extended family while mother is in Jail are required to vouch to save mother from death squad.
This is shear abuse of young children by state.Where is justice.Law should protect the innocent. Justice requires that vulnerable be protected from abuse ,state should never become part of it.
