You thought you got phucked by the government?

A Pakistani woman who was gang-raped on the orders of a traditional village council has appealed the ruling that acquitted five of her alleged attackers.

Mukhtar Mai, 33, travelled 560 kilometres to Islamabad to attend Monday's hearing before Pakistan's Supreme Court.

"I am expecting the Supreme Court to give the same kind of ruling that was given by the special court," Mai said outside the courtroom, referring to the original conviction of the men.

In June 2002, a council of elders ordered Mai to be gang-raped as punishment because her 12-year-old brother had allegedly been involved in an affair with a woman, offending members of her powerful clan. Mai claims that allegation was fabricated to cover up a sexual assault against the boy by men from the woman's clan.
