Dutch woman jailed in Qatar after reporting rape convicted of 'illicit sex'

A Dutch woman who has been in jail in Qatar since mid-March after she reported being raped, has been found guilty of "illicit consensual fornication" and being "drunk in a public place."

At a court hearing in Doha Monday, the 22-year old, whom CNN has identified only as Laura, was handed a one-year suspended sentence and placed on probation for three years for the sex-related charge, and fined 3,000 Qatari Riyals ($823) for being drunk outside a licensed location.

A Syrian man also appeared alongside her and was found guilty of the same crimes. He was sentenced to 100 lashes for the illicit fornication charge and a further 40 lashes for the illegal consumption of alcohol. As a Muslim he is not allowed to drink at all under Qatari law.

She's lucky she isn't going to be stoned to death.

Why anyone would voluntarily set foot in one of these ass-backward nations is beyond me.

It is the equivalent of a white boy like me going into South Central with dollars hanging out of my pockets and a #BlackLivesSuck T Shirt.

This is like them fools who hiked into Iran.

Sorry ladies, get in the tiger cage, expect to be bitten.
