Lebanon passes law against domestic violence

[P F Tinmore]

Beirut (AFP) - Lebanon's parliament on Tuesday passed a law making domestic violence a criminal offence, after a years-long campaign by civil society groups in a sectarian Arab country steeped in conservativism.

Large sectors of Lebanese society have traditionally regarded beatings of women and children as religiously and socially acceptable.

New York-based Human Rights Watch described the bill as "historic," but pointed to gaps which did not ensure full protection for women.

I thought domestic violence didn't exist over there.

This has been more than two decades in the process.
Amazing it has only just come to your attention.

I'll wait to see if he makes any more posts to keep that OP company.

But Tin Man thinks it's still perfectly fine to murder Jewish babies in their beds.

Yup, he thinks those babies are in a "war zone", and Muslim animals have every right ordained by Allah to slaughter them.

Bloodrock, don't bring up the Itamar incident! Didn't you read what Tinmore said? He said that we have brought it up too many times. I think his exact words are that we milked it dry.

Heh heh...Tinmore thinks one poster is going to change centuries of learned religious and cultural oppression and persecution of women. You have to give him credit for positive thinking.
