Accused rapist gets 100 lashes in northern Mali
The Associated Press, Bamako, Mali | World | Fri, August 31 2012, 8:39 PM
Witnesses say that a man accused of rape in the northern Malian city of Timbuktu received 100 lashes, as the Islamists controlling the city continue to mete out punishments under Shariah law.
The witnesses say the man, identified as a Burkina Faso citizen named Boubacar El-Bourkinabiyoune, was brought into Timbuktu's public square on Friday morning. Resident Aboubacrine Yattara said the Islamists of the radical Ansar Dine group, which seized control of the city in April, explained that if the accused had been married, they would have stoned him to death.
Contacted by telephone, a second witness Mohamed Toure confirmed that he had also seen the lashing.
Northern Mali fell into the hands of a mixture of Islamic groups in March and April, following a coup in the distant capital, Bamako.
