Demonstrating to Protect Rapists

Thousands of Pakistani Islamists demonstrated in the streets of Karachi against Musharraf's decision to cancel the rape law that requires a raped woman to produce four male witnesses to prove that she was raped. According to this law, the woman's failure to do so can result in her being tried for adultery. The dmonstrators objected that an "Islamic" law is being cancelled and expressed their fear that Pakistan, as a result, is becoming a "free sex zone." (in Arabic)
