38 Muslim Men Rapes 15-year-old Girl To The Point Of Death

A 15-year-old girl in Malaysia was gang raped by 38 Muslim men, with each man taking turns for several hours in an abandoned hut. Police have arrested 15-men and are looking for the remaining ones as the investigation is going under way. Media accounts, quoting information from District Police Chief, Azham Otham, said 38-men were involved.

Report says the assault took place in the northern state of Kelantan, when the girl met a girlfriend and was lured to an empty hut said to be a local drug haunt.

The men took turns to rape her for hours. Police were also investigating whether her 17-year-old friend was also raped. The alleged attack, one of several brutal caes this week underscoring the violence to which women are being subjected across Asia, sparked outrage among women's groups. Politicians from a Muslim party running the region said their proposal to introduce Islamic hudud law, with harsh penalties, would deter offenders.
