Cairo - A 14-year-old Afghan girl, held for four years as a sex slave by an Egyptian family in their Saudi home, praised a Saudi court's decision to behead her tormentors, in remarks published Friday.
A Medina court on Wednesday upheld a previous verdict sentencing Mohammed al-Gunaidi and his sister Gamalat to death by beheading for imprisoning and sexually exploiting the girl in their home.
Al-Gunaidi's first wife received a sentence of 10 years in prison for her role in the crimes, while his second and third wives were sentenced to a year in prison and 500 lashes each.
'I will never forgive al-Gunaidi and his wives for torturing me physically and mentally. The court has handed them a fitting punishment,' the 14-year-old Afghan girl, identified only as Razia, told the Saudi daily Arab News.
The girl, who sold clothes with her mother, was lured by the sister with promises of purchases into the family home, where she was then kept as a prisoner, her mother told the court. Al-Gunaidi was also accused of planning to smuggle the minor to Egypt.
Razia said that now freed, she would like to receive an education.

Why are you surprised? This is an everyday occurrence in Arab countries. Girls and boys are bought and sold daily to satisfy Muslims sexual thirst.

cairoexpat, Grown women have gotten kidnapped and held as sex slaves in the United States, too, although in the US, people cannot legally buy and sell girls and boys for their sexual gain. Maybe basha was surprised because she did not know that that still went on in other parts of the world. I think the other wives should have gotten the same punishment as the brother and sister did. If someone does that kind of thing, they should get their butt kicked. You can't use someone like that.
