[craz_beautiful_ava]

this case provoked a nation who usually turned the blind eye... grabe ra kaayo ka.brutal... but due to the fear of many women in India, the victim must receive justice... para precedent pud sa mga panghetabo nga engun ani... at least naman lang, magmatngon najud tawn ang mga lalaki didto...

mura naman nuon gepalabas nga sala ang Pagkababaye...

[Rakizta]

many rape cases gyud tinuod didto na ang mga victims refused to file a case kay they know its futile and the police wont do anything to solve and catch the suspects.

30 days that bound a nation — in shame and concern



A month after a woman's gang-rape in Delhi, the spotlight stays resolutely on women's safety


New Delhi: She was the faceless woman who bound a nation in concern and shame and made India a talking point across the world.
A month after a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern was gang-raped in Delhi and 18 days after she died of her injuries, the spotlight stays resolutely on India’s women and their status.
One of the suspects was to appear on Tuesday at a hearing intended to determine whether he is a juvenile and therefore ineligible for the death penalty, according to defence lawyers in the case
The suspect, who is not being identified because he says he is 17, could face three years in a reform facility if convicted as a juvenile. A conviction as an adult could bring the death penalty. The hearing is expected to begin on Tuesday afternoon, defence lawyers said.
Meanwhile, perhaps for the first time, countering crimes against women has become a top priority for Delhi Police — not particularly known for gender sensitivity — after the sustained mass outrage over the gang-rape and death brought women’s insecurity in the national capital into sharp public focus.
Since the incident, all the 180 police stations here have been told to run a women’s help desk 24x7 with at least two women police personnel in attendance. All police personnel are to inform senior officers immediately about any major distress call related to women.


Earlier, women officers were seen only during the day. Now, every police station has been instructed to run a women’s help desk 24x7. Police stations have been instructed to put at least two women officers at the desk at night,” Special Commissioner of Police Sudhir Yadav said.
All the 11 police districts in New Delhi have been asked to be on high alert regarding women’s safety and the officers have been ordered to handle women-related distress calls on priority.


Police attending the calls at 100 — Police Control Room (PCR) and at 1091 (a special desk to attend women-related calls) — have been instructed to take immediate action when they get a distress call from a woman.
Yadav said he has been appointed as the nodal officer to keep a watch on women’s distress calls.
“I have received around 1,300 distress calls by women on my official number. Around 80 per cent calls were related to small issues while 20 per cent were major. Immediate action was taken. Some of them have been solved while a few are being handled by police stations,” said Yadav.


Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Dharmendra Kumar said that those attending to distress calls from women have been instructed to divert such calls immediately to the nearest PCR van of the area from where the call was made.
“As soon as a woman’s distress call is received, it is transferred to the PCR van nearest to the victim’s address. The area police station and top officers are informed,” Additional Commissioner of Police A.K. Ojha told IANS.
Ojha said this was the normal process to handle distress calls, but since the gang-rape incident, all major women-related calls are being transferred to the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) or additional commissioner of police’s offices.

Five men and a juvenile gang-raped and tortured the woman in a moving bus December 16 in south Delhi. She died on December 29 in a Singapore hospital where she had been airlifted for specialised treatment.
After the outrage, five policemen, including two senior officers, were suspended for dereliction of duty.
To prevent the recurrence of such incidents, police said patrolling on motorcycles had been started and PCR patrols increased. Night patrolling by station house officers (SHOs), assistant commissioners of police and DCPs and an increase of around 70 per cent police presence on the roads has also been effected.
Since women feel unsafe travelling in public buses, the Delhi government has decided to post Home Guards in all buses at night. Until now, only 89 Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses that ply during night have home guards.
Marketing executive Geetika Chowdhary however said: “It is not enough to increase police presence on roads. Police personnel have to be more sensitive to women’s issues. They have to instil confidence among women so that they can approach them without fear and that their case will get priority.”

India gang-rape trial begins as father urges hangings

Defence lawyer seeks transfer of case out of Delhi over fair trial concerns



An Indian man wearing a mask depicting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (C) holds a placards reading: ‘What should I do?’ during a protest along with some female protesters outside the court, where five men accused in the Delhi gang rape will be tried, in New Delhi, India, on Monday.



New Delhi: Five men went on trial on Monday over the fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in Delhi as the victim’s father urged the special fast-track court to deliver swift justice and sentence her attackers to hang.
With the case being held behind closed doors and subject to a gagging order, it was left to one of the prosecutors to announce the start of the case to reporters packed outside the sessions court in New Delhi.
“The trial has begun,” Dayan Krishnan said. “The charge sheet has been submitted before the judge and the arguments will begin on January 24.”
The trial is being held in a special “fast-track” court in the capital set up to circumvent India’s notoriously slow justice system, with the victim’s family leading widespread calls for quick closure on the horrifying case.
The start of the trial was delayed until late in the afternoon on Monday by a failed application to overturn the gagging order while a lawyer for one defendant also sought to move the trial out of New Delhi.
The father of the 23-year-old victim said her family would rest only once the culprits were convicted and hanged and he urged judge Yogesh Khanna to complete his work quickly.


We have finished the mourning rituals for my daughter in the village but our mourning will not end until the court passes down its verdict. My daughter’s soul will only rest in peace after the court punishes the men,” he said.
“It is the duty of the court and the judges to ensure that the final order to punish all the accused is handed down quickly and all the men are hanged.
“No man has the right to live after committing such a heinous crime.”
The assault last month on the medical student sparked mass protests across India — in particular in New Delhi which has been dubbed the country’s “rape capital” over the incidence of such attacks.
The five men face murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping and other charges, with prosecutors expected to demand the death penalty. A sixth suspect, who claims he is 17, will be tried by a separate juvenile court.



Defence lawyers say they will enter not-guilty pleas and accuse police of torturing the adult defendants — aged between 19 and 35 — to confess.
The woman, a promising student, whose father worked extra shifts as an airport baggage handler to educate her, suffered massive intestinal injuries during the assault on the bus in which she was raped and violated with an iron bar.
She died 13 days later after the government airlifted her to a Singapore hospital in a last-ditch bid to save her life.
In a move that could lead to a significant delay to proceedings, the Supreme Court on Monday agreed to consider a request to transfer the trial to a venue outside New Delhi.
M.L. Sharma, counsel for defendant Mukesh Singh, said it would be impossible for his client to receive a fair hearing in the city where the December 16 attack took place.
The application for a transfer will be considered by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

V.K. Anand, a defence lawyer for another suspect called Ram Singh, asked the judge to lift the reporting ban on proceedings, but his request was refused.
“Crime is against society at large. Society has the right to know what happens in the court,” he argued when speaking to AFP.
Senior prosecutor Rajiv Mohan, who has vowed to seek the death penalty for the “heinous” crime, has said that he has “sufficient evidence” against all the accused to secure a conviction.
Police have gathered DNA evidence allegedly linking the defendants to the attack while the victim’s hospital bed declaration before her death and testimony from her 28-year-old companion are also set to be crucial.
India says it only imposes the death penalty in the “rarest of rare cases”. Two months ago, it hanged the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks — the country’s first execution in eight years.

Indian president speaks out against rape

Indian President Pranab Mukherjee has said it was time for the country to "reset its moral compass" in the wake of the savage gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student last month.
Speaking on the eve of India's Republic Day celebrations, Mukherjee called the woman's death a "grave tragedy" that has shattered the country's complacency.
"The brutal rape and murder of a young woman, a woman who was symbol of all that new India strives to be, has left our hearts empty and our minds in turmoil," he said in a nationwide televised address.


We lost more than a valuable life, we lost a dream. If today young Indians feel outraged, can we blame our youth?"
Five men are on trial in New Delhi for murder and gang rape while a sixth has said he is under 18 and that his case should be heard in juvenile court.
The student, who was studying physiotherapy, was assaulted with an iron rod in the attack that sparked street protests.
She died of massive internal injuries nearly two weeks after the December 16 attack.
"When we brutalise a woman, we wound the soul of our nation," the president said.
"It is time for the nation to reset its moral compass... We must look deep into our conscience and find out where we have faltered."
In a wide-ranging speech, he also referred to corruption besetting India's political scene and the need for economic equality in the country of 1.2 billion people.
Saturday marks Republic Day, the date in 1950 when India's new constitution came into effect. A special ceremony is to take place in New Delhi with tens of thousands of police deployed across the capital as security is tightened.
