Muslim law only protect Muslims... Why non of the Arabic demon ever punished for raping and killing Sri Lankan house maids? Far away from civilised...

You know the value of Arabian country law.

I am sure there would have been a phone call from a politician and the OIC of the station would have already dropped them all home.

This is very annoying.... I don't get it.. Don't know what's the pleasure you get out of raping..

-4+91 # ChickenParippu 2013-01-24 15:16

these are desperate psychos without the manhood to start a relationship with a woman. Real Men attract women.losers rape simply because no woman is willing to even stand close to such useless creatures. These 'men' are not men they are actually two legged animals who can speak and do not possess a brain. Human rights should not apply to them.

Following Indian Delhi scene.

-107+32 # Quintus Fernando 2013-01-24 13:53

@PRASANNAJIT.., Not exactly. Unlike India, Rape is not common and frequently happening in Srilanka. In India, deeply rooted cast system too helps such incident to be happened in a frequent manner....! Specially, "gang violence" are there but " gang rapes" are isolated incidents in Srilanka.

-6+92 # Aruni 2013-01-24 14:03

Rape is NOT common and frequently happening in Sri Lanka? Are you seriously living here or elsewhere? Rape is very common in SL, unfortunately the stats don't reveal the correct numbers because the victims do not complain or reveal they have been raped due to political, cultural and social issues. Whether it's a gang rape or not, rape is rape and a very common occurrence in SL.

-1+61 # Roshan 2013-01-24 15:34

Yes, when you compare the population, our rape rate is much higher. Like you have mentioned the victims don't complain because they know how these defending lawyers question the victim.

-0+55 # shiva 2013-01-24 14:18

Everything happens in a less frequent way in sri lanka compared to india because we just have a fraction of there population(than k god).

-6+95 # prassanna D 2013-01-24 14:21

Quintis Fernando - Where in the world you were in 2012 ???? Children Raped by Government Officers and a girl was Raped and Dumped in Kahawatte and Foreigner was gang raped in Down South and 100s of cases that we hear that happening in the North and East...u must be joking right ??? and who are the idiots who have liked ur comment too ??

-2+39 # LK 2013-01-24 14:41

I can't call you Mr. Fernando...Hey man, listen whay are trying think that we are better off coz we don't do the mistake frequently.. There are much worse things happening in SL. This is a mistake and we should be shamed of.. period.

-0+40 # John 2013-01-24 15:11

Lets not fool ourselves that we are better or worse than India only because of the socio-family stigma that prevents these crimes against our women & children go unreported?! Thanks only to the press these are even known and strong action needs to be taken. Right now much publicity is given to this in India and fast-track courts established and Laws being amended for quick action/deterrent. Suggest you watch NDTV 24/7 for their excellent investigative action with not even powerful politicians spared!

-2+21 # ChickenParippu 2013-01-24 15:18

some fact in your claim - Rape was common in India for decades . Sadly In SL it is an alarming new development - few decades back it WAS there in SL but not to this extent, even regarding the lower population.

-0+27 # Yas 2013-01-24 17:23

@Quintus Fernando
Are you living in sri lanka ????? you are mad men.......approximately there are 150 rape cases per month and there are soo many hidden cases ......so isnt that common mchn........kade yanawa too much lol Xd

-0+6 # Roshan 2013-01-25 08:34

Rape is Rape, Gang rape or otherwise, read the papers, at least one rape case, the authorities should take a survey over a period of time, get the opinion of the victims about punishment, I am sure 100% death penalty will be the answer.

-0+20 # sahio 2013-01-24 14:43

Cut the pencil fully year after do not do such things, this lesson for other rapers

-0+73 # Selo 2013-01-24 13:42

I doubt the ppl will come out and protest in favour of women's rights now would the people..... these 5 will go Scot free same like it happen when the Russian girl was gang raped and her boyfriend killed down south

-0+19 # Jay 2013-01-24 14:14

What's happening to our culture, our country? Police is great at getting them but what happens next is the question? Politicians stay out of Police matters. Sadly Sri Lankans don’t come out in numbers to protest. Take India as an example when it comes to protests or even Egypt.

-0+29 # Pasel 2013-01-24 14:14

-0+20 # Pasel 2013-01-24 14:17

Keep them under the 48 hours detection give them the window slam treatment
It will put them out of commission

It's high time to introduce death penelty for those rapists. It is clear that they will get beheaded if they do in this in a middle east country. Sadly Our Teachings, will set them free!!

No law at all.Blindly follow the English law, There are lot of pre judiciary killings. Why can't stand on capital punishment.

-7+33 # Concern Lankan 2013-01-24 14:41

During the past weeks it was the comments against the Shariyah law after beheading of Rizana Nafeek, Take this incident, five people raped an elderly person of 45 years, and can you imagine a lesser punishment other than the beheading for this grave crime. This lady will suffer psychologically for ever hence Shariyah is not a barbaric law as it portrayed in the Media by some Extreme group. It’s the law for the protection of Human rights and to have a society of Justice.

-0+8 # Eng 2013-01-24 14:43

those will be detained for "48 Hours" before producing to court!

this would be the first such detention!

-0+16 # Shilran 2013-01-24 14:44

Dangerous situation. should be destroy as soon as possible otherwise this can be a trend following Indian incident. our people's mind corrupted too.
Crimes increasing day by day under this government.

-0+19 # Public Abilik 2013-01-24 14:46

Castrate them, let it be a lesson to all the depraved animals out there. It's also time for publicity for these monsters. Put up posters with their offense.

-0+17 # ma 2013-01-24 15:02

protect our women before it happen and victims with in our family, let see the punishment fit the crime or not. I suggest , stone the rapist to death by public.

-18+9 # fareed 2013-01-24 15:13

Legalising sex industry would help prevent such crimes.

Death penalty should be the norm for rape. If that's not possible, then life - meaning life without parole; coupled with name and shame. Nothing less is a deterrent.
