Mali Love in the Time of Shariah

In this Monday, Feb. 4, 2013 photo, Salaka Djicke stands in the town square where she was publicly whipped after being caught having a relationship with a married man, in Timbuktu, Mali. Until they were chased out by the French last week, the Islamic extremists who controlled northern Mali since April applied a harsh brand of Shariah in the moderate Muslim region. Djicke was jailed and publicly flogged, and at least one other unmarried couple was executed by stoning. (AP Photo/Harouna Traore)
