Malaysian Woman Sentenced to Flogging for Drinking Beer

Share

(Newser) – A Malaysian woman will be flogged for drinking a beer in a nightclub, reports the AP. A judge ordered the part-time model, 32, to be struck six times with a rattan cane and fined $1,400. She pleaded guilty in a religious court to consuming alcohol, but now plans to appeal the sentence. The punishment "is aimed at making the accused repent and serves as a lesson to Muslims," said the judge.

Yeah. Here they only imprison you for using for using the drugs they don't want you to use, and the beatings and rapings are done by the other inmates, saving on cost by the state.
