Woman Sent to Prison - Elvira Gamboa

In Somalia a woman along with the journalist who interviewed her are being sentenced to a year in prison when she accused security gaurds of raping her. She was given a test that was not credible and it was decided that she was falsely accusing the gaurds and insulting the government. A group for individual human rights is being formed to bring justice to the woman and journalist.

  1. Why was the journalist who interviewed her sent to prison? That's very wrong that they sent the woman to prison based on a test that wasn't credible.

  2. I agree entirely with Corsica, they shouldn't have sent the journalist to prison, and they should have used a much more credible test.

  3. Why does the journalist have to suffer the consequences of what this lady said. I think that the journalist should get out of prison and that the lady should stay because of what she did.
