Woman to be executed for stopping rape Sep 13, 2005 A young woman is waiting execution in Saudi Arabia for killing a man who was trying to rape her, the Saudi newspaper Arab News reported. The woman was convicted of murdering a man while trying to stop him from raping her. Repeated efforts to sway the family of the murder victim to grant her pardon have failed, said the paper. Arab News did not give the name, age or nationality of the woman. Abha prison director Major Saud Al-Otaibi told the paper that the woman has spent six years wondering whether her fate will be pardon or death. Lately she has become isolated, extremely depressed and her physical condition is deteriorating, Al-Otaibi said. A human rights group interfered on her behalf, but its efforts failed. Although forcible rape is universally condemned, some find it ironic that defending against it apparently results in similar condemnation in Saudi Arabia, the paper noted. Saudi Arabia applies the death penalty by beheading with a sword to convicted murderers. Relatives of a murdered person can decide the fate of the killer, either by letting the sentence to go ahead or requesting "blood money" in exchange for the life of the murderer. tvnz.co.nz
