..Eighteen Year-old Muslimah In Prison for Killing Rapist
An 18 year-old in America has been charged of murder and is being held
in a jail in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Hala Gabr, was just 17 and three weeks of turning 18, when her foster
mother took her to Atlantic City, while she went into a casino. Hala
was left by herself to see the sights. After a while, Hala called a
cab to go back and meet up with her foster mother.
The cab driver offered her $20. to have sex with her. When Hala
refused, the cab driver pulled a knife on her and forced to a motel
room where he raped her violently. Medical records proved that she was
sexually violated. At some point during the whole ordeal, she hit the
cab driver with a bottle and knocked him to the ground. As he went
down, she reached for the knife and stabbed him 13 times.
She hid his body in the bed under the mattress, cleaned up the room,
drove off in his car and threw all of his belongings in a nearby
stream. These items have been found, negating the prosecution's claim
that she was stealing his belongings.
Because she was so shocked by the whole incident, she got into a car
accident, and was taken unconscious to a hospital. When she was
revived, she fled to her father's house in Brooklyn (from where she
originally escaped from abuse and thus put into a foster home). The
police found her purse in the car and traced her there, where she was
arrested.
The rapist, authorities said, frequently picked up prostitutes and was
known as a sxual predator in the Atlantic City area.
Hala does not have a criminal record, and although she cannot get the
death penalty because of her age at the time, she is subject to life
without parole for 50 years. She is currently being held on $500,000
dollars bail.
We are urging the readers to make du'a for Hala in every prayer and to
request that sisters write her at the following address:
Hala Gabr
Atlantic City Correctional Center
5060 Atlantic Avenue
Mays Landing, NJ 08330
OMG the poor sis. Thanks for this article. I'm going to follow up this case. There is a duua specifically for cases like this (injustice). I don't know how far I'll get but I'll try to get in touch with this sister somehow. This is too awful to ignore.
This is very old news. You could always try to do a google search I imagine but I doubt you will find much.
Especially since there is no name of the man who was killed and all you would have to go on would be the name of the muslimah, it will be hard to search for.
Not to mention, if she is still in prison, there is not much information available about prisoners. If she is out of prison, she probable wants to turn the page and does not talk much about this dark time in her life.
She hid the dead body and tried to escape the law, this is why she became a suspect. She should have phoned the police straight away after neutralising the rapist
I can't imagine being in her shoes. May Allah grant her patience and may He make her life easier. This just shows you how screwed up the Kuffars Justice system is.

I am not saying she lied. But trying to get rid of a body without anyone finding out does seem odd. I do understand why she was suspected. Now that does not mean she was not assaulted. It would have been so much easier for her had she just called the police right away.
