Gang Rape - India Jails Six For Life
« on: July 21, 2013, 04:38:54 PM »
An India court has sentenced six men to life imprisonment over the gang rape of a Swiss tourist in March this year.

The BBC reported that the woman, 39, and her husband were attacked while camping in woodland in central Madhya Pradesh state.

The men, aged between 22 and 30, were all from a village close to the scene of the rape.

The attack came months after a 23-year-old Indian woman died following a gang rape on a bus in Delhi, sparking protests across the country.

Days after the Swiss tourist was raped, changes to the laws were passed, containing stricter punishments for rapists, including the death penalty.

On Saturday, reports say one of them was convicted of assaulting and robbing the couple, rather than the rape itself.
