Where is the justice Saudi Arabia?


This man is a Saudi cleric, his name is Faihan Alghamdi. He has killed his 5 years old daughter after months of torturing her. Two days ago, the judge has decided to release him from prison after he pays diya or blood money to his ex wife. If his ex wife (mother) had murdered the child then she would be executed. The child's mother has objected to this unfair verdict and is asking for a new trial. The woman said she had not appointed a lawyer during the trial to demand execution of her husband on the grounds she is “ignorant in the law.”

“The body of my daughter has been in the morgue for nearly four months.. I have just received a court permit to bury her,” she said.

In a report in late 2012, the Saudi Arabic language daily Alyoum said the scholar often appears on a local satellite TV channel to deliver religious lectures.

The paper said his daughter Lama died in hospital after spending several weeks suffering from broken arms, skull fracture and head bruises.

It quoted the girl’s mother as saying her daughter had been systematically tortured by her father and his new wife before she was admitted to hospital in a serious condition.
