Condemning horrific rape of a three year old in Kashmir’s Bandipora district, former CM Mehbooba Mufti supported imposition of Sharia law and the accused to be stoned to the death.

Taking to her Twitter handle Mufti said in times like these Sharia laws seems apt so that such paedophiles can be stoned to death.

Mortified to hear about the rape of a 3 yr old girl in Sumbal. What kind of a sick pervert would do this?Society often blames women for inviting unwanted attention but what was this child’s fault?Times like these, Shariah law seems apt so that such paedophiles are stoned to death — Mehbooba Mufti (@MehboobaMufti) May 11, 2019

While the Jammu and Kashmir Police constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the ghastly incident protesters blocked the Srinagar-Baramulla highway demanding punishment on a fast-track basis. The police had to use tear smoke shells to disperse the angry protesters at the Srinagar-Baramulla highway.

In 2016, Indonesia passed laws authorising chemical castration, minimum sentences and execution for convicted paedophiles. The decision was taken by President Joko Widodo after the gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl.

Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen are among the countries that follow Sharia law.
