i don't know if there was ever a full investigation done to establish the facts, which i think is what you would need to get to the bottom of it. i think it was probably something that someone said as part of a small dispute, that escalated by random chance. but there's a lot of this stuff about. a couple got stoned to death yesterday up in the mountains in badakhshan in afghanistan. i don't know the details but generally this stuff is the 'community' taking things into its own hands, nothing to do with the government. i used to do some media work over there and i'd read stories about people sleeping together outside of marriage who'd be chased down and killed by the people in their village. it's just shit all of this stuff. not that legal systems don't also do a lot of bad things but overall they are probably better than this kind of thing.

reminds me of what woebot, forum-father, said when he was telling me why he supported the Iraq war he said Luke, you've never been to the third world, let me tell you, it's fucking awful, it's squalid and violent and the people are ignorant. the only thing that stops us being in the dirt like them is the system of exploitation and repression we have in place. we have to do everything we can to support it. it struck me at the time as an unusualy clear-eyed and honest explanation and one that was very common though typically left unspoken.

This story's absolutely bonkers.
www.theguardian.com
This woman made multiple false rape allegations against various men, particularly Asian men, and managed to turn her entire town upside down, bring in far right vigilante groups who started surveilling Asian businesses and smashing windows, and scammed 22 grand out of members of the public through a donation page.
The more you read, the crazier it gets. Apparently she had multiple phones with fake social media accounts which she used to corroborate her stories and the injuries she had were self-inflicted with a claw hammer she bought from Tesco.
The police sound pretty useless too. They kept this autistic bloke in jail for ten weeks before checking his alibi then found he couldn't have done what she said he did because he was photographed in the back of one of their own vans at the time as they were driving him home for being too drunk...
