Dutch woman arrested for reporting to be raped in Qatar
Quote:
A Dutch woman arrested in Qatar on suspicion of adultery after reporting she had been raped is to appear in court on Monday.
The 22-year-old says she was drugged in a hotel in Doha, and realised she had been raped when she woke up in an unfamiliar apartment.
“She was arrested in March on suspicion of adultery, which means having sex outside marriage,” her lawyer, Brian Lokollo, told Dutch radio NOS-Radio 1.
The alleged rapist is also being held, but says the sex was consensual. The Dutch foreign ministry said the woman had been arrested but had yet to be charged.
The 22-year-old, who was on holiday, had gone dancing at a hotel where alcohol was allowed. “But when she returned to the table after the first sip of her drink … she felt very unwell”. She believed she had been drugged, Lokollo said.
Her next memory was waking up in an unfamiliar apartment where she “realised to her great horror that she had been raped”, he added.
The man was also arrested, but denies raping her and alleges that she had even asked for money.
“She completely denies these accusations,” Lokollo said.
If you report rape you get arrested and charged with adultery? Who the **** would report rape if that's the case? Imagine if she were an Arab and got pregnant as a result, she would probably be stoned to death. I'm sick. This is despicable.
Can't wait til that country goes broke
