        @ynzkiedubdub @BBCBreaking Not sure if I should be happy about this. Great that she got the pardon. But still, she got convicted :( Justice.

        @BBCBreaking There was a "dispute"? I thought it was straightforward. She was charged w/being raped not in the presence of 4 male witnesses.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld Extremely important to mention rapist (who got a shorter sentence), also 'pardoned'. Feral scum.
