First Female Genital Mutilation Conviction Handed Down in Irish Court

The first conviction in Ireland for female genital mutilation (FGM) which was carried out by parents of a one-year-old baby girl has resulted in prison sentences for the mother and father.

The 37-year-old man and the 27-year old woman, both African born, were convicted of carrying out the mutilation in September 2016. The husband received five and a half years while the wife received four years and nine months in jail after a jury deliberated for three hours before giving a unanimous verdict.

The practice has been popular in East Africa for many thousands of years, an expert Doctor Deborah Hodes stated, while refuting that it was an official part of the Muslim faith ritual.

The couple had lived in Ireland since 2008 and the husband was under a deportation order.

Colman Fitzgerald the lawyer defending the father said the mutilation carried out was less serious than other kinds and the husband had immediately brought the girl to a hospital.

Patrick Gageby, the lawyer defending the mother, stated that his client is a married woman with three young children all of them well cared for.

After the sentencing, Chief Superintendent Declan Daly of the Garda National Protective Services Bureau said it “sends a strong and important message that female genital mutilation, the mutilation of children and young girls, is not and will not be tolerated.”

NB. Took me a few days to post this report folks. I felt physically sick...
HOW COULD ANY WOMAN GIVE BIRTH TO A BABY GIRL..
Then within a year hold that baby girl down whilst her Dad entered the baby's personal part & cut her so viciously with a knife..

THAT IS WORSE THAN RAPE of A CHILD by PEDOS...

Irish Courts should be ashamed of the weak sentences given to both parents..
