A Saudi court sentenced a woman who had been gang raped to six months in jail and 200 lashes - more than doubling her initial penalty for being in the car of a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.The decision by the Qatif General Court came in a case that had sparked rare debate about the kingdom s justice system when it surfaced more than a year ago.In its decision Wednesday, the court also roughly doubled prison sentences for the seven men convicted of raping the 19-year-old woman, the Arab News reported on its English-language Web site.According to Arab News, the court said the woman s punishment was increased because of her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.

An official notice of a ban on all travel from the United States to North Korea is set to be published on

The State Department says that any U.S. passports will be declared invalid for travel to, in, or through the DPRK unless specially validated, and the ban will remain in effect for one year, unless extended or sooner revoked by the Secretary of State. In June, college student Otto Warmbrier, who had been freed by North Korea after having been detained in January 2016, died of injuries sustained shortly after the North sentenced him to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly stealing a propaganda banner at his hotel after he had taken a five-day tour.The ban also comes soon after a bipartisan bill to impose sanctions on the North as well as Iran and Russia overwhelmingly
