A self-styled celebrity Islamist preacher in Saudi Arabia accused of beating and torturing his 5-year-old daughter to death was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison and 600 lashes, and was ordered to pay "blood money" to the girl's mother, according to an official with a government-backed human rights body.
His daughter, Lama, was admitted to the hospital in March 2012 after suffering extensive injuries, including broken ribs, a crushed skull, bruising and burns. Family, activists and officials say she died of her wounds in late October last year.
The celebrity Saudi cleric beat his 5 year old daughter, broke her spine, raped her, tortured her in other ways and then murdered her, all because he suspected that this baby girl might not be a virgin.
While the divorced mother wants death penalty for his crimes, the man is merely serving a jail sentence
