FGM: UK's First Female Genital Mutilation Prosecutions Announced
![]() An offence was allegedly carried out by a doctor at the Whittington Hospital in London The first UK prosecutions over female genital mutilation have been announced by the Crown Prosecution Service. Dr Dhanoun Dharmasena will be prosecuted for an alleged offence while working at the Whittington Hospital in London in November 2012. Hasan Mohamed will face a charge of intentionally encouraging an offence of female genital mutilation. Dr Dharmasena and Mr Mohamed will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 15 April. In a statement, Director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders said the CPS was asked by the Metropolitan Police to consider evidence in relation to an allegation of female genital mutilation (FGM). It was alleged that following a patient giving birth in November 2012, a doctor at the Whittington Hospital repaired female genital mutilation that had previously been performed on the woman, allegedly carrying out female genital mutilation himself. Ms Saunders said: "Having carefully considered all the available evidence, I have determined there is sufficient evidence and it would be in the public interest to prosecute Dr Dhanoun Dharmasena for an offence contrary to S1 (1) of the Female Genital Mutilation Act (2003). "I have also determined that Hasan Mohamed should face one charge of intentionally encouraging an offence of FGM, contrary to section 44(1) of the Serious Crime Act (2007), and a second charge of aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring Dr Dharmasena to commit an offence contrary to S1 (1) of the Female Genital Mutilation Act (2003). "These decisions were taken in accordance with the code for crown prosecutors." The CPS has decided to take no further action in one other new case and in three cases that were under review having been considered previously. The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 replaced a 1985 Act, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, raising the maximum penalty from five to 14 years in prison. It also made it an offence for UK nationals or permanent UK residents to carry out FGM abroad even in countries where it is legal. BBC News |

Apparently one of those cases where no further action was taken was a case of some guy phoning a FGM victim advice center to actually make an appointment for his two daughters to have the procedure done |

Oh look, Africa and the middle east bringing us their shit again. Thanks guys. Not surprising, they don't bother with our language. He probably just picked up a leaflet, saw FGM and thought 'mmm, this is obviously exactly what I need. |

You can chop off the penis at the halfway point and still have it function(squirt sperm & urine) right? Start handing out that procedure and see how it's received. If the females of the religion don't need their nerve endings, neither do the men. |

There are way more cases of genital mutilation performed on baby boys, but because it's less extreme and socially acceptable no one seems to give a shit about that religious practice |

I just think it's a choice a man should be able to make on his own, as an adult. It wouldn't be much different than women who choose to have labiaplasty. (but for the record, I like the natural look best |

i'm sure the muslim community will be 'upset and angry' about this as they always are.... hopefully this is the start of a trend of exposing those shits for the backwards assholes that they are so that we can run them back to their sandy shitholes..... |
