Maliki's reaction ...
As expected, Al Maliki claim that the allegations of rape are all lies. Apparently his people simply asked the officers to see if they raped Sabrine Al Janabi and they said no. I'm so glad you have been cleared.
"Meanwhile, Prime Minister Nouri al-Makiki moved quickly to try to silence the scandal after a Sunni woman say that she was raped by three police officers dominated by Shiites.
The government's response, in line with the officers and trying to discredit the allegations, threatened to further increase the backlash.
A statement from al-Maliki's office accused "certain parties" - presumably Sunni politicians "to make the complaint in an attempt to discredit the security forces during the ongoing Baghdad security operation, which began last week. The statement was released only hours after al-Maliki ordered on Monday night Investigation.
The woman, married 20 years said he was assaulted after police commandos took her into custody in the Amil neighborhood in western Baghdad on charges of aiding the insurgents. He said he was taken to a police station and raped her.
"It has been shown after medical examinations that the woman at all has been the subject of sexual assault and that there are three search warrants and arrest of her security agencies," said the statement by the government without give details.
"Having proved that the allegations are false, the prime minister has ordered that the accused officers reward," he said without elaborating.
hate the "media" and hate the Iraqi government for turning this atrocity into another Sunni-Shia debacle - as if it mattered whether Sabrine is Sunni or Shia, Arab or Kurd (the Al Janabi tribe is composed of both Sunnis and Shia). Maliki not only turned the woman into a liar, but that rewards officers whom she accused. It is outrageous and crazy.
No Iraqi woman under the circumstances - under no circumstances "would groups, denounce false that she was raped. Simply because there are too many risks. Is the risk of being socially rejected. The risk of beginning an endless chain of reprisals and revenge killings between tribes. It is the shame of appearing in public and talk about a taboo topic that she and her husband not only risking his reputation by telling the story, but also their lives.
No lie about something like this just to mine (tease) the Baghdad security operation. This can be done only by calculating the dozens of deaths last week. Or writing about the mass detentions of innocents, or how other people time is burying their valuables so that they are not stolen Iraqi troops and the Americans.
Less than 14 hours after the complaint Sabrine, and Maliki's rewarding the people she accused. In 14 hours, Maliki not only established their innocence, but turned them into their own personal heroes. I wonder if Maliki would entrust the safety of his wife and daughter to these men.
The meaning of this is to discourage other prisoners, especially women, to confront and denounce the armed forces of Iraq and the U.S.. Maliki is the stupidest man alive (well, after Bush of course ...) if you think your arrogant and cruel way to bring the situation aside from the minds of the Iraqis. Doing what he does, makes clearer than ever that under his bill, under his government, vigilante justice is the only way to go. Why leave it to the security forces and police? Simply hire a militia or a gang to get revenge. If he fails some justice for her, her tribe is going to be forced a. .. And Jabanat (the Al Janabi) are a force to be taken into account.
Maliki could at least pretend that the rape of a young Iraqi woman is still something strange in Iraq today ...
