Indian Gang Rape Victim Dies

[kandace]

A young Indian woman who was gang-raped and severely beaten on a bus in New Delhi died Saturday at a Singapore hospital, after her horrific ordeal galvanized Indians to demand greater protection from sexual violence that impacts thousands of women daily, in homes, streets and public transport, but which often goes unreported.

She "passed away peacefully" with her family and officials of the Indian embassy by her side," said Dr. Kevin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth hospital, where she had been treated since Thursday. "The Mount Elizabeth Hospital team of doctors, nurses and staff join her family in mourning her loss," he said in a statement.
He said the woman had remained in an extremely critical condition since Thursday, when she was flown to Singapore from India. "Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days. She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."

The rapists are beneath savage. Necklace them.

Government to seek murder charges. Indians outraged.

As protests grew in India Saturday over the death of a young woman who was raped in Delhi this month by several men in a moving bus, police said her attackers would be charged with murder. The charges came as government officials appealed for calm in the streets after the woman, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, died early Saturday in a Singapore hospital. In a statement, Dr. Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, said the woman died “peacefully.”

Indian police said Saturday that if convicted, the men could face the death penalty for the attack, which has served as a reminder of the dangerous conditions women face in India.

Unfortunately in parts of the world women aren't seen as equals and the violence they endore is unspeakable. And yes India is one of those places. I'd be surprised if anything happens to the rapist but if they do execute them I'm all for it.




"The text, posted on a website by a conservative Catholic named Bruno Volpe, attacked pornography and erotic television advertising but said women shared the blame for “provoking the worst instincts, which then turn into violence and sexual abuse”.

“Let’s ask ourselves. Is it possible that men have all gone mad at one stroke? We don’t think so, said the text, which was reproduced in several newspapers.The core of the problem is in the fact that women are more and more provocative, they yield to arrogance, they believe they can do everything themselves and they end up exacerbating tensions, it said."

This was published this past July.

Halarnkar then offered as proof a survey that caused indignation in India last month: a poll of 370 gender specialists around the world that voted India the worst place to be a woman out of all the G20 countries. It stung – especially as Saudi Arabia was at the second-worst. But the experts were resolute in their choice. "In India, women and girls continue to be sold as chattels, married off as young as 10, burned alive as a result of dowry-related disputes and young girls exploited and abused as domestic slave labour," said Gulshun Rehman, health programme development adviser at Save the Children UK, who was one of those polled.

Look at some statistics and suddenly the survey isn't so surprising. Sure, India might not be the worst place to be a woman on the planet – its rape record isn't nearly as bad as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for instance, where more than 400,000 women are raped each year, and female genital mutilation is not widespread, as it is in Somalia. But 45% of Indian girls are married before the age of 18, according to the International Centre for Research on Women (2010); 56,000 maternal deaths were recorded in 2010 (UN Population Fund) and research from Unicef in 2012 found that 52% of adolescent girls (and 57% of adolescent boys) think it is justifiable for a man to beat his wife. Plus crimes against women are on the increase: according to the National Crime Records Bureau in India, there was a 7.1% hike in recorded crimes against women between 2010 and 2011 (when there were 228,650 in total). The biggest leap was in cases under the "dowry prohibition act" (up 27.7%), of kidnapping and abduction (up 19.4% year on year) and rape (up 9.2%).

That explains why, jeebus is missing.

After all, being raped is a crime committed by the rape victim in Islam.

Not the rapist, the rape victim is the guilty one.

And of course, she must be killed to restore the family honor.

Allah akbar.

[musicmd]

Right on que.

Not the rapist, the rape victim is the guilty one.

Sounds like Bill O'Reilly.

Anything less than death isn't justice.

Can you read? If so, what part of what I quoted mentioned Muslims? Thanks.

Why are rape victims often punished by Islamic courts as adulterers?

Islamic law rejects forensic evidence (such as DNA) in favor of testimony. An interesting situation thus sometimes develops in cases where a victim alleges rape and the man denies that sex even took place. In the absence of four male witnesses, rape cannot be proven. The woman's testimony then becomes a "confession" of adultery. She can be stoned, even though the male is unpunished, since he never "confessed" to a sexual act!

Some clerics blame rape on the woman. Australian Sheik Feiz recently said a rape victim "has no one to blame but herself. She displayed her beauty to the entire world... to tease man and appeal to his carnal nature."

Also, there can be no such thing as rape in marriage, even if the husband has to hit the wife in order to bring about her submission. Another recent fatwa reminds a woman, she "does not have the right to refuse her husband, rather she must respond to his request every time he calls her." (Islam Q&A, Fatwa No. 33597).

New Delhi Gang Rape: Youngest Attacker 'Ripped out Victim's Intestines with Bare Hands'

A juvenile who is one of six suspects accused of gang raping and murdering a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi was the most violent of all the attackers, police say.

A police spokesman said that the juvenile sexually abused his victim twice and ripped out her intestines with his bare hands. Because of his age, he is the only one of the six who cannot be sentenced to death if found guilty. He will be tried in a juvenile court.

Through the years here on the "Sun Spot", it never ceases to to amaze me as to the number of times I have seen certain black posters, particularly Kandace, call for LYNCHING an accused suspect before the trial. With no outrage or chastisement at the thought from their Liberal Democrat puppet masters. Apparently, for the Left, Lynching is only an outrage, and an injustice, when the suspect was black and the Lynchers were white.

Shadow--

You've never seen non-black posters call for someone's execution even before trial?

[georjec2]

Sad sad story.

You have totally missed the point. Read it again slowly. And then think about what racial and political demographics has consistently complained about the horrid history of 'Lynching' and the heavy lingering scars of it's injustice.

Well, I unapologetically deem myself an Afrocentric Cultural Nationalist but, honestly, what sense does it make to impose the African American experience onto situations where it is wholly irrelevant. This is about a sub-savage rape and murder of a women, in public, in broad daylight, in India. The suspects are (apparently) known but the odds of justice being obtained are sketchy. In such a situation, extra judicial execution is justified. Yes. It. Is. If we are going to mention AA lynching, if anything the murder of the hapless Indian woman resembles the lynchings of AA women that occurred in America back during the days of de jure White Supremacy.
