India: Justice, the Victim - Gujarat State Fails to Protect Women from Violence

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: Nearly three years after violence erupted in
the state of Gujarat in Western India those
responsible continue to walk free. The violence
left over 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead.
Several hundred girls and women were
stripped naked, raped or gang-raped, had
their wombs slashed and were thrown into
fires, some while still alive. pdf: web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGASA200012005
