I agree, my mind is blown that this woman is locked up in jail with an INDEFINITE sentence. This is political prisoner stuff right there.
If you murder someone, do you have to stay in jail until you apologize to the family? No, you get a set term in jail and then you are done. This woman's only way out of prison is if she recants her religious beliefs. If thats not kicking the constitution in the balls right there, I don't know what is.

EXACTLY. Thank you. To me, that's all this is about. This isn't about homosexuality or gay marriage. Homosexuality/gay marriage = X, whereas X is something the government has decreed. If you disobey X, you will be locked up until you recant.

Edit: For those who don't click on my links, I'll mention that this is not unprecedented. Contempt is just another way to say "fuck you, you will stay in jail until you bow".
