Pakistan ordered an investigation Friday into a video of a woman being flogged in the former resort of Swat, where the government signed an agreement with a pro-Taliban cleric to allow sharia law.
Apparently filmed on a mobile phone, the video shows two men pinning down a burka-clad woman by her feet and shoulders, while a bearded man in a turban flogs her 34 times with a whip as she screams in agony. "Hold her," shouts the man with the whip. "Hold her legs," he shouts, as he thrashes the woman's buttocks with the crack of the whip

Bangladesh's underage brides
Twenty years ago the United Nations adopted the Convention of the Rights of the Child. The CRC or UNCRC, is an international treaty setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children.
The treaty restricts the involvement of children in military conflicts and prohibits the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.
Bangladesh is a signatory to the UN pact. However, child marriage remains a widely accepted practice http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia/2009/11/
