Monday, the doctors responsible for Hena's first autopsy faced prosecution for what a court called a "false post-mortem report to hide the real cause of Hena's death."
Public outrage sparked by that autopsy report prompted the high court to order the exhumation of Hena's body in February. A second autopsy performed at Dhaka Medical College Hospital revealed Hena had died of internal bleeding and her body bore the marks of severe injuries. Police are now conducting an investigation and have arrested several people, including Mahbub Khan, in connection with Hena's death.

How does a 14 yr old be charged with adultery in the first place? By being married, at 14?? It's wrong from the get go but that's my bias I guess. I don't claim to understand the cultures from around the world that dictate these types of punishments but boy, they make my stomach turn something fierce.

Searching...got it. Thank you for the clarification. A 14 yr old in my eyes should be exempt from any kind of adultery but there again lies my American bias I suppose. I can't help it, I was once 14 and at that age, I think I would be a victim of rape in that situation, you know?

And if that's the best you can come up with you should keep your incompassionate, repressed and ill advised thoughts to yourself.
