This is one of the f***ing sickest news I've ever heard!!! Seven man rapes a woman and a man and the victims are sentenced! Please someone bomb those idiots to death. USA has a great ally there indeed.

...later I read from the news victims were spared by the king but this is a great example how sick "justice" system that country has.
