Careful When You Report Rape In Dubai

Be Careful When You Report Rape In Dubai Or You May End Up 16 months in Jail

 

 Dubai

A court in Dubai has sentenced a young Norwegian woman, Marte Deborah Dalelv, to 16 months in jail after she brought charges of rape against a colleague.
Dismissing her allegations, the court instead found her guilty of drinking alcohol and wanting the sex that she alleged was forced upon her. Meanwhile she was fired by her Qatar-born employer, the interior designer Wissam al Mana, who is otherwise known as Janet Jackson’s latest husband.

The circumstances are complicated but, could she be a victim of a grotesque miscarriage of justice? Could it also possible that she got herself drunk and consented to sex as being drunk after all will invariably lead to all sort of immoral behavior as the local judges and juries perceived it?

 

Dalelv is currently staying at the Norwegian Seamen’s Center in Dubai while appealing the verdict.


Janet Jackson with new husband Wissam al Mana: he fired alleged rape victim Marte Deborah Dalelv. 


Why would the 'victim' of a terrible crime receive a jail sentence?
Understand that Asia is not America, let alone Norway. To a Westener watching the world from a vantage point in East Asia, the episode illustrates in microcosm a troubling fact: globalism is a one-word  oxymoron. It has never made sense and probably never will. Cultures are different and, in their attitude to truth and human rights, the many brands of Asian culture are particularly remote from Western expectations.

Certainly, all American wishful thinking to the contrary, the world is NOT converging to American values. Yes, of course, more and more consumers around the world are drinking Coca-Cola  and eating Big Macs. But this is a superficial observation that says nothing about any values worth the name.

Of course, Dubai, which is the most populous constituent of the United Arab Emirates, seems on a superficial view to be highly Westernized. A more accurate description is that Dubai is highly economically advanced. It is home, for instance, to major regional operations of such U.S. corporations as Hewlett-Packard  EMC, Oracle, Microsoft  and IBM. It also boasts the world’s tallest building, the 163-floor Burj Khalifa. Meanwhile the Emirates airline, which is based in Dubai, counts, on some measures, not only as the world’s largest international carrier but the world’s best (it was so designated a few months ago by the British consultancy, Skytrax).

But Dubai’s official religion is Islam — and Islam forbid the exposure of a woman's skin other than her face and hands. Alcohol is 'haram' - forbidden, so is being alone with the opposite sex. This means that Westerners are tolerated only under sufferance. Western women in particular are not always welcome especially when many blatantly ran around in skimpy bikinis on the beaches. This despite the fact that Dubai features one of the most disturbingly imbalanced male-female ratios in world history: in the overall population, males outnumber females more than three to one. The ratio for adults is probably even more imbalanced.
Foreign prostitutes, particularly Russian and Indian ones, seem to be welcome.  The status of ordinary decent local women in Dubai is powerfully symbolized by the fact that wives when found guilty of deceiving her husband can be beaten initially with a symbolic soft cloth and much later with 'impunity' if she persists with her deceit so long as no marks are left.



Justice in an American sense does not apply in Dubai.  Marte Deborah Dalelv’s fate is that she has been indicted on a crime – drinking alcohol and having sex with a man other than her husband – that is widely tolerated though abhorred among other foreign residents of Dubai.

The larger point here is that Eastern and Western cultures are in many ways incompatible. Rudyard Kipling made the point more than a century ago: “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.”

Probabaly, on appeal, Marte Deborah Dalelv will be shown some leniency.
Asian legal systems for the most operate quite differently from anything Americans are used to and that can lead to unpleasant surprises.

Netherlands: Foot orgasm syndrome

Foot Orgasm Syndrome

A 55-year-old woman in the Netherlands visited the doctor with an
unusual complaint: She experienced unwanted orgasms that started in
her foot, according to a new report of her case.

The orgasmic sensations — which occurred in her left foot — were
sudden, not brought on by sexual desire or thoughts, and occurred
about five to six times a day, the report said. The sensation traveled
up her left leg to her vagina, and she said the experience felt
exactly like an orgasm achieved during sex.

These orgasms were very embarrassing and worrying to the woman, said
study author Dr. Marcel D. Waldinger, who treated the woman and is a
neuropsychiatrist and professor in sexual psychopharmacology at
Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

University Medical Center Utrecht

"She felt terrible about it," Waldinger said.



Magnetic resonance images (MRI scans) of the woman's brain and her
foot showed no abnormalities, although another test revealed some
differences between the nerves of her left and right feet, Waldinger
told LiveScience. Stimulating her left foot with an electric current
induced a spontaneous orgasm in that foot, he said.

The woman was treated with an injection of anesthetic into one of her
spinal nerves — the nerve that receives sensory information from the
foot — and the orgasms stopped completely. The woman has not had any
foot orgasms for eight months now, although she might need to return
for another anesthetic injection if her symptoms return, Waldinger
said.

The researchers believe the phenomenon was the result of a sort of
mix-up in the brain.

About a year and half before the foot orgasms started, the woman spent
three weeks in an intensive care unit — part of the time, in a coma —
because of a sepsis infection. When she came out of the coma, she had
tingling and burning sensations in her left foot, likely as a result
of damage to tiny nerve fibers in the foot, Waldingersaid.

Interestingly, the nerve that registers sensory information from the
foot enters the spinal cord at the same level as the nerve that
registers sensory information from the vagina, Waldingersaid. Because
of nerve damage in her foot, the woman's brain did not receive sensory
information from her foot, but it did receive sensory information from
the vagina.

After a year and a half, the nerve in the foot regenerated. When that
happened, the researchers believe "the brain could not anymore
differentiate between the foot and the vagina. So that it decided that
every stimulus coming from the foot was actually coming from the
vagina," Waldinger said. "And that means an orgasmic feeling," in the
foot, he said.

The researchers called the woman's disorder "foot orgasm syndrome,"
and it is the only known case of its kind. (A foot orgasm has
previously been reported in a man with a foot amputation).

Waldinger thinks there may be other people who have the condition, but
are too embarrassed to talk about it. Waldinger wanted to publish the
case report in part to reduce the stigma surrounding such conditions.

"It's not psychological," Waldinger said. "It’s a neurological thing —
we can explain it, we can treat it."

Waldinger is hoping to hear from more people who may have a similar
condition, and has made a website for people to contact him

The study was published online June 19/2013 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

India: 19 Die After Eating School Lunch

19 children die, 27 hospitalized after Eating School Lunch in India

PATNA, India July 17, 2013

At least 20 children died and many others were sick after eating a free school lunch that was tainted by a heavy dose of insecticide, Indian officials said Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear how chemicals ended up in the food in a school in the eastern state of Bihar, though one official said the food may not have been properly washed before it was cooked.
The children, between the ages of 8 and 11, fell ill Tuesday soon after eating their school lunch in Masrakh, a village 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of the state capital of Patna. School authorities immediately stopped serving the meal of rice, lentils, soya and potatoes as the children started vomiting. The lunch, part of a popular country-wide campaign to give at least one hot meal to children from poor families, was cooked in the school kitchen.

The children were quickly rushed to a local hospital and later to Patna for treatment, said state official Abhijit Sinha.
In addition to the 20 children who died, another 27 children as well as the school cook have been hospitalized, he said. Ten of them were in serious condition.

Authorities suspended an official in charge of the free meal scheme in the school and registered a case of criminal negligence against the school headmaster, who fled as soon as the children fell ill.
P.K. Sahi, the state education minister, said a preliminary investigation suggested the food had traces of an organophosphate used as an insecticide on rice and wheat crops. It's believed the grain was not washed before it was served at the school, he said.

However, local villagers said the problem appeared to be with a side dish of soya and potatoes. Children who had not eaten that dish were fine, although they had eaten the rice and lentils, the villagers said.
India's midday meal scheme is one of the world's biggest school nutrition programs. State governments have the freedom to decide on menus and timings of the meals depending on local conditions and availability of food rations. It was first introduced in southern India, where it was seen as an incentive for poor parents to send their children to school.
Since then the program has been replicated across the country covering some 120 million school children as part of an effort to address concerns about malnutrition. According to the government, nearly half of all Indian children suffer from malnutrition.
Although there have been occasional complaints about the quality of the food served, or the lack of hygiene, the tragedy in Bihar appeared to be the worst associated with the massive food program.
Bihar's top elected official, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has ordered an inquiry into the deaths.

She Chopped Her Husband's Penis

California woman gets life for chopping off husband's penis

 A judge sentenced a Southern California woman who cut off her estranged husband's penis and tossed it in the garbage disposal to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Catherine Kieu, 50, was convicted by an Orange County jury in April of aggravated mayhem and torture following the July 2011 assault on her ex-husband.
Kieu drugged her former spouse before tying him up and severing his penis with a knife. She then threw it into the garbage disposal unit.
An attorney for Vietnam-born Kieu argued at trial that she had suffered sexual abuse as a child which left her with post-traumatic stress. She was remorseful about the attack, he said.
After the sentencing hearing, the victim - identified only as "Glen" - said he wished Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey could have given Kieu more time behind bars, City News Service reported.
"Deep down inside I was hoping for a stronger sentence, but given the restraints of the law this is what he had to do," he said.
"There may be a situation where I can be happy, but whole? Never ... I've got a long ways to go."
