Their idea of Justice

An eye-opener for people who think they share the same values as rest of the world:

A 75-year-old widow in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in jail for mingling with two young men who are not close relatives, drawing new criticism for the kingdom's ultraconservative religious police and judiciary.

Her crime? She asked them to bring her some loaves of bread.
