The 21st century in Qatar

A Dutch woman claimed to the police in Qatar that she was drugged and raped. So, the cops convicted her of a crime and sentenced her to a year in jail and a fine of $850. Her attacker was not convicted of rape. Instead, he received 140 lashes for sexual activity outside of marriage and drinking alcohol. The Dutch government intervened and was able to get her out of Qatar after she had served three months.
