You label somewhere you have never been and know very little about, a 'Backwards country'. Then in another statement you lump other countries into that category, including Turkey. You may be right about Sudan, I have no experience of the place, but you are very wrong about Turkey. I have been there extensively and know it as a very progressive place. Education, womens rights and the law are very comparable to here.
Gromit, read Emmie's post again. I don’t think she is saying that Turkey is a backwards country. Quite the opposite. Sudan is a backwards country.
divebuddy, //we are invited to sympathise with some poor women " jailed for being raped" but it turns out that she wasn't.//
Whether or not she is married, divorced, single, and whether or not she was raped, in the eyes of the law she is in jail for having sex - and that penalty you appear to support. The mind boggles.

who could comment more on Afghanistan and it's people than someone born and raised there. And indeed this applies to any place. I can comment on the capital having been born and raised here, and know a fair bit of it's history. In the various links i had looked at it said she was still in jail.
for the crime of being an illegal

Although it is difficult to know how many people reside in the UK without authorisation, a Home Office study based on Census 2001 data released in March 2005 estimated a population of between 310,000 and 570,000.
More recently, a study carried out by a research team at LSE for the Greater London Authority estimated the undocumented migrant population of the UK by updating the Home Office study. The LSE's study takes into account other factors not included in the previous estimate, namely the continued arrival of asylum seekers, the clearance of the asylum applications backlog, further undocumented migrants entering and leaving the country, more migrants overstaying, and the regularisation of EU accession citizens.
The most significant change in this estimate is however the inclusion of children born in the UK to undocumented migrants. For the LSE team undocumented migrants oscillate between 417,000 and 863,000, including a population of UK-born children ranging between 44,000 and 144,000. Drawing on this and taking stock of the outcome of the recent Case Resolution Programme, a University of Oxford's study by Nando Sigona and Vanessa Hughes estimate at end 2011 a population of undocumented migrant children of 120,000, with over half born in the UK to parents residing without legal immigration status.

Franca Viola (born in Alcamo in 1947) is a Sicilian woman who became famous in the 1960s in Italy for refusing a "rehabilitating marriage" ("matrimonio riparatore" in Italian) after suffering kidnapping and rape. Instead, she and her family successfully appealed to the law to prosecute the rapists. The trial had a wide resonance in Italy, as Viola's behavior clashed with the traditional social conventions, whereby a woman would lose her honour if she did not marry the man she lost her virginity to. Franca Viola thus became a symbol of the cultural progress and the emancipation of women in post-war Italy.wiki
