Phone Flog: Saudi Court Orders 13-Year-Old Girl Flogged and Jailed For Bringing Phone to School

A Saudi court has sentenced a 13-year-old girl to 90 lashes and two months in jail for the crime of bringing a cell phone to school. To make the sentence all the more barbaric, the judge ordered the girl flogging in front of the other children.
