Deaf Christian Woman Gang Raped By Muslims

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Deaf christian woman gang raped by Muslims in Pakistan.





KASUR, PAKISTAN - Three Muslim men broke into the home of a Deaf christian woman in a village in the district of Kasur, Pakistan, and took turns raping her while the men of the family were at work. The incident occurred in the Ganda Singh Wala village in the Kasur district of Punjab, according to the Pakistan Christian Post.



The woman reportedly screamed for mercy while being raped, but no one came to her assistance. Relatives of the woman have retained the services of christian lawyer Sardar Mushtaq Gill, who runs an advocacy group offering free legal assistance to Pakistani Christians and other minorities who are victims of abuse and religious persecution.

The lawyer filed the first information report with the police and is trying to reconstruct the facts of the attack, though he admits that it is not easy to get a case like this prosecuted fairly in Pakistan. One suspect, Muhammad Umar, has been arrested while the other two attackers reportedly escaped, and Gill is not optimistic about seeing justice done.



“It’s very difficult to get a punishment for those responsible,” he told the Fides news agency. “Often in these cases the police take no action or, worse, side with the rapists.”



Gill also noted that cases of violence against christians and other religious minorities are far more frequent than is commonly known because of a system that turns a blind eye to religious persecution.



“Christian families or witnesses are pressured to withdraw complaints,” Gill added. “Violence against women and children of religious minorities, the weak and vulnerable, is widespread in Pakistan and is often carried out in silence. The cases and the stories do not come to light and when victims talk about it they are intimidated,” he said.



Islam is the official state religion in Pakistan, which has some of the most severe blasphemy laws in the world. Freedom of speech is greatly restricted and “defiling the Prophet Muhammad” carries a death sentence, while damaging the Qur’an is punishable by life imprisonment. “Insulting another’s religious feelings” can result in jail sentences up to ten years, but is applied only to those disparaging Islam...

Korean Sex Crime Movie Highlights Nation’s Anger

VIDEO: English Subtitles - Four teachers and administrators jailed for sexual abusing at Deaf school.



SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - In 2006, Teachers were convicted of raping or sexually molesting at least eight students, ages 7 to 22 at a South Korean School for the Deaf.



Due to the country's lenient sentencing for sexual abuse, only two of the four officials served jail time. The case received limited attention at the time, but a new film based on the story has helped to fuel the nation's growing outrage.



The New York Times reports that Dogani or The Crucible, which was released about a month ago, has now been seen by 4.4 million people, or nearly one in 10 South Koreans.





The case could have been largely forgotten if it wasn't for a newspaper intern who blogged about the trial. After one official at the Inhwa School for the hearing impaired was sentenced to only a year in jail for raping a 13-year-old girl, a Deaf man sitting in the courtroom screamed and tried desperately to express his anger through sign langage.



Lee Ji-won wrote, "It was clear that the man was shouting, ‘This is wrong! This is wrong!"' The blog inspired author Gong Ji-young to write a novel about the crimes committed at the school, and now the film based on the book has brought the story to an even larger audience.



As The Economist puts it, the response to the film has been "nothing short of earth-shaking." The film has inspired South Koreans to express their anger over a legal system that routinely allows those convicted of sex crimes to walk free.



Six people were indicted in the Inhwa case, and two of the perpetrators went to jail for less than a year. Another two were given a suspended sentence, and the others were acquitted because the statute of limitations on sex crimes had passed.



This disturbing outcome was typical, according to a report issued last year by South Korea's education ministry. Most teachers found guilty of sex crimes are sentenced to a salary cut and a short suspension... Read more at http://jezebel.com/5850770/south-korean-sex-crime-movie-highlights-nations-anger

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - In 2005 a shocking set of sexual abuse cases happened at South Korean School for the Deaf for girls. The teachers involved received relatively light sentences that maybe about to change.



SILENCED, based on a novel details the drama that went during that horrific time in perhaps one of the most controversial films of the year. As of the time of writing, the entire nation is in an uproar, that at the very least, reveals in stark detail the power of film. The film has also been at number one for weeks.





More information about the film can be found on the official Kobiz website: koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/films/index/filmsView



Based off the novel 'Dokani' - The Crucible tells the story of an art teacher whom begins teaching at a Deaf school. When he begins teaching there, he is dreaded by the uncomfortable atmosphere and fears there is more to the school than meets the eye, and there is. He, and a human rights activist, crack down on the school and their unfair dealings, and soon descovers that there is a man whom sexually assaults the little girls there. Movie was proposed by leading actor Gong Yoo, whom fell in love with the book during his time in the milirary, and felt the book needed to be adapted into film. This also marks Gong Yoo's 1st role outside of romantic comedies, which he was type-casted with.
