Release of man convicted over Delhi gang-rape sparks protests
The youngest convict in a fatal gang-rape in New Delhi has been released from a youth correctional facility, sparking street protests and condemnation from the victim’s parents.
The freed man, who was 17 at the time of the crime and cannot be named, was sentenced to three years in a reform facility in August 2013 and finished his term this weekend. Under Indian law, regardless of the crime, under-18s can be imprisoned for a maximum of three years.
Four other men were sentenced to death in the case, and a fifth, the alleged ringleader, died in custody in 2013.
The four adults who went to trial confessed to the attack but later retracted their confessions, saying they had been tortured into admitting their involvement. Legal appeals against their death sentences are pending in the supreme court.
We all remember tis terrible news and the feelings we had at the time. A young life brutally taken and yet, it seems justice has not been done.
Why are the other four still awaiting the appeal results. It seems to me , that like the UK, the Indian justice system also favours the criminal. :0(
We are with the victim .............. .........
