Suicide watch for virgins raped before ritual - SA
Edited on Mon Jul-28-03 09:04 AM by dArKeR
Three teenagers who were about to celebrate their virginity are on suicide watch after being gang-raped.

Their ordeal, near the Piesang River in Inanda, north of Durban, has outraged counsellors, with one calling the rapists "dogs". Three weeks after the rape, they are suffering from post-traumatic stress, made worse by the fact that their attackers are still at large.

Counsellors are on 24-hour standby for the three 15-year-old girls, including twins, from New Town, Inanda and Phoenix, as it is feared they could take their own lives. They have had anti-retroviral medication but one girl stopped the treatment in anger at the lack of progress in the case. She was persuaded to resume treatment.

They were in a group who were about to be feted by their relatives for abstaining from sex. The ceremony began with the girls going to a river for a cleansing ceremony. They were accompanied by a young man, who was also attacked.

When one wipes the GOP Feces from their TV screens you can begin to see more clearly that Iraq under Saddam may have been a safer, a more just and a more educated society than all of Africa combined.

2. Ummm. . . are you sure
these young ladies aren't making the accusation for the money? (/sarcasm)

Really, the rape threads in GD had me about ready to vomit.
