A Bangladeshi woman was sentenced to 40 lashes under Sharia law, for adultery. She was caned a month ago, then hospitalized, and died last week. Caning was outlawed earlier in the year, so several people have been arrested in this case.

There's a photo exhibition going on in Sana'a about the hijab and politics. The article I linked to has some photos.
