Iraqi Woman Orders the Rape of 80
Not often you hear that women can be just as cruel as men, if not worse. This woman ordered the rape of her soldiers.
Samira Jassam: The woman who ordered the rape of the female members of her unit.
She ordered the rape of 80 women
A 51 year-old Iraqi woman named Samira Jassam was arrested at the start of February because she was suspected of having ordered the rape of 80 women. She admitted to the charges later. The place where she recruited suicide attackers also had female soldiers, so she had to prepare them psychologically and physically to serve a ‘higher cause’. Samira supposedly drilled the women for marathon operations, gave them to terrorists who had explosives and led them to the places where the women were supposed to perform their final mission. Samira also handled psychological manipulation because she ordered men to rape the female soldiers. Because rape is still considered a great shame in the Muslim world, not only for the woman but for her entire family, she convinced them that suicide was the only way to avoid becoming shamed after these terrible and traumatic events. The abused women almost didn’t have any other choice.
What do you think the appropriate punishment for the woman who ordered the rape of 80 of her soldiers would be?
