From Tragedy to Inspiration to Censorship

Check out this op-ed piece from Nicholas Kristof in the NY Times that summarizes a tragic story he's been following. It fills you in on the backstory of "Mukhtaran Bibi, a woman who was sentenced by a tribal council in Pakistan to be gang-raped because of an infraction supposedly committed by her brother." It goes on to recap her inspirational quest for justice and education and the current failure of the Bush administration to take a stand against Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf for basic human rights.
