Four people have been arrested in Bangladesh after a young girl was whipped to death for allegedly having an affair with a married man.

Rural scene in Bangladesh

Police say cases such as these are most common in remote areas

The suspects, including an Islamic cleric, are accused of issuing a fatwa for 14-year-old Mosammet Hena to receive 100 lashes.

This was despite her insistence she had been raped by the man, believed to be her cousin, and did not consent to an affair or physical contact of any kind.

She collapsed after receiving 70 of the lashes from a bamboo cane. She was taken to hospital unconscious but died shortly afterwards.

The public beating occurred in a south west village in the district of Shariatpur, approximately 35 miles from the capital of Dhaka.

The district's chief of police, Shahidur Rahman, said incidents such as these usually occurred in remote areas.

He added the 40-year-old man involved was also sentenced to 100 lashes but has since fled the village. "We are hunting for him," Rahman said.

Fatwas are illegal in Bangladesh, but Islamic clerics are often found presiding over courts that use Sharia law.

Action Aid Bangladesh has demanded exemplary punishment for those responsible for Hena's death, and called on the government to do more to stop crimes like this from happening again.

How sickening is that? Islam strikes again with its Neanderthal viewpoint on these things. Poor Girl RIP.

This sort of thread always baffles me.

Girl, 14, whipped to death is not good.

Once again, not good.

Thank you, goodbye.

It's hard to believe things like this still happen so casually in 2011 in any part of the world. The poor girl.

Tarring all is hardly helpful, Sufi muslims are a rather benign lot, it's the wahhabis that are F*cked.

No good will come of this thread but I can't look at it and not say something - feel like a rubbernecker otherwise.

My own feeling on this is bewilderment. I can't understand such consuming hatred; I can't understand how a person can be so bereft of empathy or compassion. Those people are broken.

murderers and twisted human beings these people are. it boggles the mind that this carry on is still rampant in these under-developed countries. how can we or another civilized country have respect to a countries religion or beliefs when they murder and torture people in this way. makes me sick.

Last time I commented on a thread about a girl from Bangladesh being punished for a crime perpetrated by the other party, and how I wasn't surprised that they were Muslim, it caused a shitstorm.

Not surprised this time either, mind.. and won't be the next time..

At least the proper authorities are dealing with it however

Atleast Christ got this cystal clear, let he who is without sin... The extreme parts of Islam is a mans only religion and women must submit.
