I do not know what happened.
Nor was I previously familiar with this story.
But I just want to say, that you are an Angel. Especially for this little girl.
I don't know what became of her (though I pray for all to be well,) but I guarantee you that the energy, time and love that you put in to helping her did not go to waste. I promise.
Something was obviously triggered in you to feel such an emotional response to this situation. I bet you she prayed for someone like you, probably for many people like you, to help her. And, in my opinion, you answered her prayers, and thus, became her Angel.
God bless.

Hey, there haven't really been any developments on that story since (that I'm aware of, and I've been working in news since may) - which means she wasn't necessarily charged with adultery. I don't know if they even had any evidence of either consensual or non-sensual sex. Maybe she was referred to juvenile court. May I ask what your involvement is in the case?
You definitely don't need to worry about anyone being stoned to death or anything as extreme as that, a little amount of research on the country would show this.

I don't know...but hopefully someone with answers will show up soon. It is rather impressive of you to spend so much time helping to help a person you don't even know. I hope you get answers.

I hope it turns out better then the 14 year old in Bangladesh.
Cheers & all the best.

No, you're wrong - they don't stone people in the UAE.. Have you not tried contacting the girl's family or her lawyer since?

You can't blame the actions of some people who claim to be "C"'s on all of the worlds "C"'s.

there are a growing number of "C"'s who do not agree with the evils committed in the name of the "C" religion and truly care about all humanity regardless of their beliefs.

In any event, all people of the world regardless of their religion or lack of religion should not be subjected to such barbaric treatment.
