from a Sudanese newspaper
After the court case began on the 6 February, the charges against the woman and the seven alleged perpetrators were upgraded to include Articles 151 referring to scandalous acts, 154 relating to prostitution, and 146 which refers to adultery.
A police officer who spoke to the victim shortly after her ordeal, but decided against pursuing an investigation as it was the Eid Al Fitr holiday has been charged with negligence, while a security officer who distributed the video online will also face trial.
SIHA said the woman, who is married and was about three months pregnant at the time of the attack, initially decided not to report the rape out of fear after her attackers threatened further violence.

From mikeys original post.
// She had also faced charges of adultery and prostitution, which could have led to a penalty of death by stoning, but these were dropped after she convinced the court she was divorced. //
Married? divorced? We are not getting a true picture.

Emmie,
I assume you are referring to this.
// A police officer who spoke to the victim shortly after her ordeal, but decided against pursuing an investigation as it was the Eid Al Fitr holiday has been charged with negligence //
Again, the assumption is that the policeman is negligent and he did not report it because it was holiday time. Those are unproven allegations. He has been charged with negligence not convicted of it. He may not have pursued it because he didn't think her story was credible or another reason. Being charged and being convicted are different things.

The reporting of this event is shoddy and has an agenda.
Unsubstantiated claims are reported as fact. Peoples' defences ignored. The picture portrayed is that the system punishes women but lets the men off.
In reality, the Sudanese Attorney Genernal (sounds like they may be following our model of justice) has to deal with the known facts and the law. He cannot accept unproven allegations. He cannot believe heresay and ignore video the evidence.
In the end we are left with the impression that in Sudan women have no rights and are constantly in danger. I suspect that is a gross exaggeration.

and i suggest like many of these backwards countries its not an exaggeration
and that many countries that were making inroads in education, and welfare of women, are going backwards, Turkey, Egypt, even Afghanistan, before the Taliban got their claws in, many women were educated, perhaps not all, read the works of Khalid Hosseni, growing up in Afghanistan.
