Genital mutilation perpetrators get light sentence

 

Three followers of a Shia Muslim sect convicted in Sydney of female genital mutilation offences should receive jail time rather than home detention in order to deter others, a court has heard.

In March the followers - a mother who can't be named, midwife Kubra Magennis and Dawoodi Bohra sect community leader Shabbir Mohammedbhai Vaziri - were each handed a minimum 11-month custodial sentence.

The mother's two daughters had their genitals cut or nicked in separate procedures in 2009 and 2012, when both were aged under 10. Midwife Magennis was found guilty of mutilating the clitoris of each girl.

 

If these people are let off with a light sentence, it doesn't say much about our abhorance of this disgusting crime.

They knew it was illegal...they went ahead and did it...therefore they should be jailed. Can you imagine the pain and torture of these two little girls...

If people want to continue their barbaric laws and customs...they should leave the country and not return....

I agree.

They have NO respect for our laws, they should be deported to where they came from after a jail sentence for this hienous crime.

"where they came from" might be Australia, if they were born here.

Living in the dark ages...no wonder people think they way they do a about this cult.

"The word cult in current popular usage is a pejorative term for a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre by the larger society."

I call it a cult because it fits the above description...their practices are bizarre and also cruel.

This type of practise has no place in the Australian society.  

I am pleased to see that the Attorney General in NSW has brought in the following law.

"CRIMINALS who fail to stand for judges and magistrates, or who yell during court, face penalties of 14 days in jail or $1100 under laws being brought in by the state government.

Attorney-General Gabrielle Upton has cabinet approval to create a new offence of deliberately disrespecting the court.

Ms Upton is understood to be considering penalties of $1100 fines and or 14 days in jail. The change is set up to bridge the gap between the law of contempt and community expectations after high-profile cases of Islamic extremists refusing to stand for judges in court."


Their barrister Robert Sutherland SC advocated for house arrest.

But crown prosecutor Nanette Williams argued the need for general deterrence, saying home detention allowed for a 'perception of leniency'.



The thing that I find most interesting is that if any Caucasian man makes the slightest remark that can be construed as sexist or mysoginistic, God help him.  BUT, the accusers are very defencive of the Muslim people in general.  I never hear of any of these hypocrites demanding that these criminals are not to be welcomed here amongst our law abiding citizens.  What is wrong with our Judges & Magistrates, that they have the power to jail anybody for any offence that is seen as contempt, but we need a law to make it an offence for any Muslim to show total contempt of our courts?

I saw a Doco once that was interviewing these women and they WANTED this done and were even going back to their country to have it done.    However seems dreadful to do it to Children.

they are a barbarians,  and shoul be deported,   if born here,  should be jailed,  they are a very cruel race,   in more ways than one, 

Who are "they"?

Which race?

The Women I saw getting interviewed -- were Black I thought maybe African ?  They were going over to have it done and they were maybe 30 years old and it was their choice.   IMO that is their business -- I do not however agree this should be done to Children, let them grow up and make up their own minds

you talking to youself again BARAK,   ?AT LEAST YOULL GET AN ANSWER,
