Pakistani Heroine Jailed
Mukhtaran Bibi was gang raped by four women as punishment because her brother, a twelve-year-old was accused of a crime which turned out to be false. Bibi fought back suing, winning and opening two schools in her village, one for boys and one for girls. Bibi was about to come to the United States but Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf had her house arrested and upon her using her cell phone, had her jailed.
