Muslim woman raped by Hindu mob shocked by release of 11 jailed men
A Muslim woman who was gang-raped by a Hindu mob, which also murdered her three-year-old daughter and 13 other members of her family, has spoken of her incredulity at the release of the 11 men jailed for the crimes.
The men were released on Monday by the Gujarat government after serving 14 years of their life sentence. Under Indian law, after 14 years, some prisoners can be released on remission provided they fulfil certain criteria relating to their age and conduct.
Bilkis Bano and her husband had no prior notice that the men were going to be released. She said the news came as a thunderbolt and left them “numb” with disbelief.
“Today, I can only say this – how can justice for any woman end like this? I trusted the highest courts in our land. I trusted the system and I was slowly learning to live with my trauma. The release of these convicts has taken from me my peace and shaken my faith in justice,” Bano said in a statement issued through her lawyer on Wednesday.
The attack took place during the 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat.

In Pakistan, Muslims raping/abducting Hindu, Sikh and Xtian girls/women more often than not would not have even been reported, let alone gone to trial.

What’s the deal with that place?
Inbreeding or something?

R3 Spewing juvenile pejoratives does not hide your absence of reading comprehension.

This is part of a horrific pattern overall. I'm still not over the female medical student who was gang raped and grotesquely murdered on a bus years ago. I would NEVER visit India.
