Imprisonment and Whipping of 75 year-old Woman

Khamisa Sawadi, who is Syrian but was married to a Saudi, was convicted and sentenced last week for meeting with men who were not her immediate relatives.
The sentencing of a 75-year-old widow to 40 lashes and four months in prison for mingling with two young men who were reportedly bringing her bread has sparked new criticism of Saudi Arabia's ultraconservative religious police and judiciary. The two men, including one who was Sawadi's late husband's nephew, were also found guilty and sentenced to prison terms and lashes.

What a pitch!... How could she ask some one who is "not her immediate relative" to bring bread??
it's an act for adultary... They could go wild and have a child and ruin the society...
That is the common sense for a society ruled by the Devil himself with the name of what so called"God-given" system.

Why the government of Syria does not intervene to protect its citizens. Why the religious authority in Syria does not intervene to voice their rejection of such cruel punishment and to explain to those fanatic in the Saudi Arabia that such act is not punishable in her own Muslim country. Do they have tongues or they have established already that they do not care about their citizen inside or outside the country?
