Justice for rape victim. Order a re-trial of Saudi millionaire.
We believe that the recent case involving Saudi millionaire, Ehsan Abdulaziz should be re-opened. We do not believe that a fair decision was made in only 30 minutes. There are simply too many factors which don't add up, including the excuses made by the accused.
Why is this important?
We would like to show solidarity and support to the victim(s) and their family/friends who have been affected by this awful crime. Our Government need to be doing more to support women who are victims of rape & violence. We need clear and accessible support systems in place. It feels to us as if those who are wealthy are given preferential treatment. We are all humans, everyone should be treated with the same respect & conditions. By allowing Ehsan Abdulaziz to be acquitted of these charges, more women have been put at risk. Please stand up and support all victims of rape & violence and petition Southwark Council to investigate with a view to re-opening the case.
