In 2009, Layla Ibrahim told police she had been the victim of a savage sexual assault. So why did she end up in jail?
One thing that would have stopped Layla from going to prison is if she had given in to the police’s attempts to persuade her to withdraw her account of the attack. But Layla writes that she always felt confident that, as the victim, she would eventually be believed and was concerned that her attackers needed to be caught.
Warning: contains a fairly graphic description of injuries sustained during a rape attack; mentions suicide attempts in some detail.
This story is horrible.
Thoughts?
