five-year-old daughter to death.

A Saudi cleric who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death
has been sentenced to pay "blood money" to the mother after having served a
short jail term, activists have said.
Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic cleric and regular guest on Islamic television
networks, confessed to having used cables and a cane to inflict the injuries,
activists from the group Women to Drive said in a statement on Saturday.
Lamia was admitted to hospital on December 25, 2011 with multiple injuries,
including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and
burns, the activists said.
They said the father had doubted his daughter Lama's virginity and had her
checked up by a medic.
She died last October.
Randa al-Kaleeb, a social worker from the hospital where Lama was admitted,
said the girl's back was broken and that she had been raped "everywhere",
according to the group.
According to the victim's mother, hospital staff told her that her "child's
rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed."
The activists said that the judge had ruled the prosecution could only seek
"blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama's death
suffices as punishment."
Three Saudi activists, including Manal al-Sharif, who in 2011 challenged Saudi
laws that prevent women from driving, have raised objections to the ruling.
The ruling is based on Islamic laws that a father cannot be executed for
murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives,
activists said.
