Model to face caning feels regret, shame

[B]SUNGI SIPUT, Malaysia[/B] — We spent the day with Kartika Shukarno, a 32-year-old mother of two who will become the first woman in Malaysia to be caned under Islamic law. She is a small, fragile woman with a soft, gentle voice who carries guilt, regret and shame heavily on her shoulders. She’s also a loving mother who cares for her two children who live each day with their own problems. Her 7-year-old son Mohammed has cerebral palsy and slight autism. Her 5-year-old daughter Wann was born with a hole in her heart and has undergone surgery many times.
