Lama al-Ghamdi

Such a sad story to write about but the only way to have such incredibly horrific situations stop is through becoming aware and educating ourselves.

This little 5 year old girl was raped and beaten to death by her father, a prominent Saudi preacher. In Saudi Arabia, the man was sentenced to a few months in jail and a $50,000 fine (half the usual amount because the victim was a girl). The man had confessed all that he did to his daughter including using cables and a cane to inflict injuries and was still given an almost nothing sentence.

Such a sad sad story. Thinking of this little girl today.

I pray one day females around the world will be treated with the utmost respect and kindness, I pray I get to see that day as it seems so far away.

  1. Very sickening and I do not condone violence but if this guy was ever in front of me, I'd make the Incredible Hulk seem like a wuss!

    May this sweet little find some peace!!
