Islamabad, Pakistan: Mukhtaran Mai, 33, gang raped on orders of a tribal council, fights on for justice. See, "Pakistan Court Gets Rape Plea," LA Times, 06/30/05 and "Pakistan to Retry Five in Gang Rape," LA Times, 06/29/05. Real justice for Mukhtaran Mai lies in having her assailants subjected to "exemplary punishment," including the tribal council that issued the rape order. Sadly, such justice will likely elude the likes of Mai as long as Talibanesque "leaders" run the show": witness President Musharraf's effort to gag the victim (Published, LA Times, Letters to the Editors, 07/03/-5).
