Mukhtar Mai was gang-raped, but it wasn’t considered a crime; it was a sentence handed down by a Pakistani tribal council—a punishment for the alleged indiscretions of her younger brother. This ABC News program confronts the council’s decision, a ruling declared an outrage by a local imam and others, while introducing the courageous woman who chose to defy custom and fight for justice in the Pakistani courts. Includes commentary by Akbar Ahmed, the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies and professor of international relations at American University in Washington, D.C. (22 minutes)
