Lashed in Sudan

Retuters, 14 December, reports from Afgoye, Sudan:
Hizbul Islam fighters summoned hundreds of residents to a field, where a rebel judge announced that… two men had confessed to murder and adultery. A woman who had confessed to fornication had been sentenced to 100 lashes, he added.
Local man Ali Gabow told Reuters. “The lady who had been with the second man was only given 100 lashes because she said she had never married.”
Al Shabaab, and to a lesser extent Hizbul Islam, are fighting the government to impose their harsh interpretation of Islamic Sharia law across the drought-ravaged country.
