It’s called street vigilantism, the default enforcer methodology of Islam, keeping the Muslim society at large in check by making ‘a few examples’.

The Local: Police in the south of France have launched an investigation after a woman claimed she was beaten up by seven men in Viviez for attending a party during Ramadan.
The young woman, originally from Morocco, was driving home from the party on Friday night when two other cars trapped hers, newspaper Midi Libre reports.
The men are reported to have beaten her up before leaving without saying anything.
After they had left, the woman drove home. Shortly afterwards, she headed towards the local police station to report the attack.
On her way to the station, the seven men tracked her down again and assaulted her a second a time.
Street vigilantism during Ramadan amounts to the same as the enforcing of Islamic uniformity by Saudi Mutaween. (religious morals police) Keep your eyes peeled for Muslims who’ll have their lights punched out if they’re trying to have a smoke during this period, among other things…There’s going to be a lot of such incidents about in the next days.
Depending on which area a Muslim lives in, such Mutaween can become a permanent fixture of the surroundings. (think of areas demarcated with “sharia controlled zones” stickers/posters)
Poor woman! Attacked twice. Once for having a life and once for daring to think she has the right to complain to the authorties and not be beaten by the sharia police. I wouldn’t be surprised if the men were her own relatives.
