Only 14, Bangladeshi girl charged with adultery was lashed to death.
Hena was the youngest of five children in her family. They shared a hut made from. Khan's wife heard Hena's faint screams and when she found Hena with her husband, she dragged the girl back to her hut, beat her and corrugated tin and decaying wood and led a simple life that was suddenly marred a year ago with the return of Hena's cousin Mahbub Khan. On her way home from school she was bullied by Khan. Many months later on a winter night, Hena was walking from her room to an outdoor toilet when Khan gagged her with cloth, forced her behind nearby shrubbery and beat and raped her. Hena struggled to escape trampled her on the floor.
I don’t think that older people should take their anger out on younger children. Especially young girls that was innocent. An older man lashed a 14 year old girl because of having an affair with a married man. He is very rude to do that action to her. The punishment was: 101 lashes delivered swiftly, deliberately in public. She had dropped to the floor after 70 lashes. Her parents had been watching this scene and were threatened. They were not able to go save their daughter from Aklima Begum.
Bruised, bleeding and near death, she was rushed to the hospital. Once they attempted to help her she died a week later.
The man that abused the girl should have been charged many things. He wasn’t charged for anything because he had 201 lashes for him to have. He managed to escape during the punishment.
The government had put body guards around this family to keep them safe. Their attempt had failed and she was raped and killed. The family should be able to sue the country for their actions.
I think that this punishment should be illegal and that they should not be able to do mean things to people in your country. This girl had died in innocence and didn’t deserve to be killed. Especially since she had been 14 years old. Even though she had an affair she is still too young to be married.
This man is a mean guy for beating her up. She is so sad now because she is dead. It is really sad that she died because she is not even old enough to be married.
Public outrage shot by that autopsy report prompted the high officials to order of Hena's body in February. A second autopsy started at Dhaka Medical College Hospital showed Hena had died of excessive bleeding and her body shed the marks of severe injuries.
Police are now leading an investigation and have arrested several people, including Mahbub Khan, in connection with Hena's death.
"I've nothing to demand but justice," said Darbesh Khan, taking a reporter to the place where his daughter was abducted the night she was raped.
He stood in very quietly and took a deep breath. She wasn't even old enough to be married, he said, testament to Hena's tenderness in a part of the world where many girls are married before adulthood. "She was so small."
Hena's mom, Aklima stared absently as she spoke of her daughter's last minutes. She could not even say her own words. "She was innocent," Aklima said, recalling Hena's last words.

Police were protecting Hena's family earlier this month. Darbesh and Aklima were scared for having spoken out against the village elders.
They had thought out the most severe punishment for their youngest daughter. They could get nothing past them.
