The appeal panel of the Syariah High Court had already ruled that the caning sentence should proceed. So what’s [...] The caning sentence imposed on Malaysian model Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno for drinking alcohol by the Shariah court has gone quiet for some time now.

[...] So the Saudi King has intervened in the caning sentence passed on female journalist Rosana Al-Yami. Last weekend, a court in Saudi Arabia sentenced her to 60 lashes of the cane and a travel ban.
