Pakistan police suspended after parading naked couple

Source: BBC

Several Pakistani police officers have been suspended after they were accused of parading a couple naked in public.

According to witnesses, police in the Sindh town of Gambat forced the man and woman to walk to the police station naked as punishment for trying to have sex outside marriage.

Mobile phone footage shows a naked man being beaten by police and a woman begging them to let her cover herself.

After a public outcry, officials suspended the officers involved.

2. suspended ? they should be tried for sexual abuse

and put in prison.

how much of a scumbag piece of shit does one have to be to feel they have a right to get into other people's personal life and tell them what they should/shouldn't do.

4. Because the alternative could actually be worse and yes it could be.

For example if the taliban was in charge they would destroy ancient artifacts dating back thousands of years or in this case they probably would have stoned them both to death.
Would I prefer a more sane government in charge in pakistan though? Sure but we cant force that kind of change all we can do is to try and encourage them to do it themselves.
