Money Making Concern

President Musharraf of Pakistan demonstrates that there’s still a long way to go before sex crimes are taken at all seriously in his jurisdiction.

Here he is commenting on compensation given to women who have been raped:

“You must understand the environment in Pakistan. This has become a money-making concern,” he said.

“A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.”

Classy.
