Police are investigating an alleged sex attack on a girl of 12 on a bus in Birmingham.

It was reported to have happened on the top deck of the No.33 bus - which runs from Pheasey to Birmingham - on Saturday, March 16.

The schoolgirl was travelling to the city centre with three friends when men - described as in their early 20s - were said to have approached them as the bus was in Finchley Road, Kingstanding.

"No words can describe how I felt when she phoned me," said the victim's mum, who has issued a plea for information.

"I felt useless as I wasn't there when she needed me the most.

[Sing Tao Daily reported] A 12-year-old girl from the United Kingdom recently took a bus with three students and went to Birmingham to be sexually assaulted by six men on the bus.

The incident occurred at 3 pm on the 16th of last month. The Independent reported that the girl and three students took a double-decker bus and sat in the empty upper seat. During the period, six young men came up and then sexually assaulted. They, three classmates, were scared to get off the bus in the middle of the road, waiting for the girl, and did not inform the driver. Six men took off and fled after taking turns to invade the girl.

The terrible thing is that the girl was sexually assaulted on the upper level of the bus, but the passengers on the lower floor did not notice the matter until the bus arrived at the terminus, and the cleaner saw her inconspicuous. The victim girl, accompanied by a cleaner, called her mother for help and her mother immediately reported it to the police.

The girl mother said with distress: "There is nothing to describe my feelings. When she needs me the most, I can't help her!"

Police are investigating the incident and appealing to other witnesses or witnesses to provide clues as the bus is not equipped with television.

The 2012 Delhi gang rape case involved a rape and fatal assault that occurred on 16 December 2012 in Munirka, a neighbourhood in South Delhi. The incident took place when a 23-year-old female physiotherapy intern, Jyoti Singh Pandey,[3] was beaten, gang raped, and tortured in a private bus in which she was travelling with her friend, Awindra Pratap Pandey. There were six others in the bus, including the driver, all of whom raped the woman and beat her friend. Eleven days after the assault, she was transferred to a hospital in Singapore for emergency treatment but died from her injuries two days later.[4][5] The incident generated widespread national and international coverage and was widely condemned, both in India and abroad. Subsequently, public protests against the state and central governments for failing to provide adequate security for women took place in New Delhi, where thousands of protesters clashed with security forces. Similar protests took place in major cities throughout the country. Since Indian law does not allow the press to publish a rape victim's name, the victim has become widely known as Nirbhaya, meaning "fearless", and her struggle and death have become a symbol of women's resistance to rape in the world.[6]
All the accused were arrested and charged with sexual assault and murder. One of the accused, Ram Singh, died in police custody from possible suicide on 11 March 2013 in the Tihar Jail.[7] According to some published reports, the police say Ram Singh hanged himself, but defense lawyers and his family allege he was murdered.[8] The rest of the accused went on trial in a fast-track court; the prosecution finished presenting its evidence on 8 July 2013.[9] The juvenile was convicted of rape and murder and given the maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment in a reform facility.[10] On 10 September 2013, the four remaining adult defendants were found guilty of rape and murder and three days later were sentenced to death by hanging.[11][12][13] In the death reference case and hearing appeals on 13 March 2014, Delhi High Court upheld the guilty verdict and the death sentences.[14]
As a result of the protests, in December 2012, a judicial committee was set up to study and take public suggestions for the best ways to amend laws to provide quicker investigation and prosecution of sex offenders. After considering about 80,000 suggestions, the committee submitted a report which indicated that failures on the part of the government and police were the root cause behind crimes against women. In 2013, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2013 was promulgated by President Pranab Mukherjee, several new laws were passed, and six new fast-track courts were created to hear rape cases. Critics argue that the legal system remains slow to hear and prosecute rape cases, but most agree that the case has resulted in a tremendous increase in the public discussion of crimes against women and statistics show that there has been an improvement in the number of women willing to file a crime report. However, in December 2014, the second anniversary of the attack, the victim's father called the promises of reform unmet and said that he felt regret in that he had not been able to bring justice for his daughter and other women like her.[15]
A BBC documentary titled India's Daughter based on the attack was broadcast in the UK on 4 March 2015.[16] Indian-Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta's 2016 film Anatomy of Violence was also based on the incident, exploring the social conditions and values in Indian society that made it possible.[17] 2019 Netflix original TV series Delhi Crime is based on the Delhi Police's search for the culprits of this case.[18]

Incident
The victims, a 23-year-old woman, Jyoti Singh Pandey, and her friend, Awindra Pratap Pandey, were returning home on the night of 16 December 2012 after watching the film Life of Pi in Saket, South Delhi.[19][20] They boarded the bus at Munirka for Dwarka at about 9:30 pm (IST). There were only six others on the bus, including the driver. One of the men, an unnamed minor, had called for passengers telling them that the bus was going towards their destination.[4][21] Pandey became suspicious when the bus deviated from its normal route and its doors were shut. When he objected, the group of six men already on board, including the driver, taunted the couple, asking what they were doing alone at such a late hour.[22]
During the argument, a scuffle ensued between Pandey and the group of men. He was beaten, gagged and knocked unconscious with an iron rod. The men then dragged Jyoti to the rear of the bus, beating her with the rod and raping her while the bus driver continued to drive. Medical reports later said that she suffered serious injuries to her abdomen, intestines and genitals due to the assault, and doctors said that the damage indicated that a blunt object (suspected to be the iron rod) may have been used for penetration.[20] That rod was later described by police as being a rusted, L-shaped implement of the type used as a wheel jack handle.[23][24][25]
According to police reports Jyoti attempted to fight off her assailants, biting three of the attackers and leaving bite marks on the accused men.[26] After the beatings and rape ended, the attackers threw both victims from the moving bus. Then the bus driver allegedly tried to drive the bus over Jyoti, but she was pulled aside by her male friend. One of the perpetrators later cleaned the vehicle to remove evidence. Police impounded it the next day.[26][27]
The partially clothed victims were found on the road by a passerby at around 11 pm (IST). The passerby called the Delhi Police who took the couple to Safdarjung Hospital, where Jyoti was given emergency treatment and placed on mechanical ventilation.[28] She was found with injury marks, including numerous bite marks, all over her body. According to reports, one of the accused men admitted to having seen a rope-like object, assumed to be her intestines, being pulled out of the woman by the other assailants on the bus. Two blood-stained metal rods were retrieved from the bus and medical staff confirmed that "it was penetration by this that caused massive damage to her genitals, uterus and intestines".[24][25]
Victims
Jyoti Singh Pandey was born and raised in Delhi, while her parents were from a small village in the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh. Her father sold his ancestral land to educate her, and worked double shifts to continue to pay for her schooling. In an interview he related that as a youth he had dreamed of becoming a school teacher, but at that time education was not considered important and girls were not even sent to school. "Attitudes are changing back home now, but when I left 30 years ago, I vowed to never deny my children of education, so sending them to school was fulfilling my desire for knowledge."[29][30] He said that he put his daughter's education above that of even his two sons, stating: "It never entered our hearts to ever discriminate. How could I be happy if my son is happy and my daughter isn't? And it was impossible to refuse a little girl who loved going to school."[29][30]
In compliance with Indian law, the real name of the victim was initially not released to the media, so pseudonyms were used for her by various media houses instead, including Jagruti ("awareness"), Jyoti ("flame"), Amanat ("treasure"), Nirbhaya ("fearless one"), Damini ("lightning", after the 1993 Hindi film) and Delhi braveheart.[31][32][33][34][35]
Awindra Pratap Pandey, the man who was attacked, is a software engineer from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, who lives in Ber Sarai, New Delhi; he suffered broken limbs but survived.[36][37]
Delhi police registered a criminal case against the editor of a Delhi-based tabloid, Mail Today, for disclosing the female victim's identity, as such disclosure is an offence under section 228(A) of Indian Penal Code.[38] Shashi Tharoor, then a union minister, suggested that if the parents had no objection, her identity could be made public, with a view to showing respect for her courageous response by naming future laws after her, but Tharoor's remark created controversy.[39] Speaking to a British press reporter on 5 January, the victim's father was quoted as saying, "We want the world to know her real name. My daughter didn't do anything wrong, she died while protecting herself. I am proud of her. Revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived these attacks. They will find strength from my daughter."[40] Indian law forbids revealing the name of a rape victim unless the family agrees to it and, following the news article which published the father's reported quote and the victim's name, some news outlets in India, Germany, Australia, and the United States also revealed her name.[41] However, the following day Zee News quoted the father as saying, "I have only said we won't have any objection if the government uses my daughter's name for a new law for crime against women that is more stringent and better framed than the existing one."[42] During a protest against the juvenile convict's release on 16 December 2015, the victim's mother said that the victim's name was Jyoti Singh and she was not ashamed of disclosing her name.[43]
Medical treatment and death
On 19 December 2012, Jyoti underwent her fifth surgery, removing most of her remaining intestine. Doctors reported that she was in "stable but critical" condition.[44] On 21 December, the government appointed a committee of doctors to ensure she received the best medical care.[45] By 25 December, she remained intubated, on life support and in critical condition. Doctors stated that she had a fever of 102 to 103 °F (39 °C) and that internal bleeding due to sepsis was somewhat controlled. It was reported that she was "stable, conscious and meaningfully communicative".[46]
At a cabinet meeting chaired by Manmohan Singh on 26 December, the decision was taken to fly her to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for further care. Mount Elizabeth is a multi-organ transplant speciality hospital.[47][48] Some doctors criticised the decision as political, questioning the need to transfer an intensive care unit (ICU) patient for organ transplants that were not scheduled for weeks or even months later.[49][50] Government sources indicate that the Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, was personally behind the decision.[51] Hours earlier, Union Minister P. Chidambaram had stated that Jyoti was not in a condition to be moved.[52] An anonymous source quoted by The Sunday Guardian stated that the decision to move her was taken "when it was already clear that she would not survive the next 48 hours".[53]
During the six-hour flight by air-ambulance to Singapore on 27 December, Jyoti suddenly went into a "near collapse", which a later report described as a cardiac arrest.[54] The doctors on the flight created an arterial line to stabilise her, but she had been without pulse and blood pressure for nearly three minutes and never regained consciousness in Singapore.[55]
On 28 December, at 11 am (IST), her condition was extremely critical. The chief executive officer of the Mount Elizabeth Hospital said that the victim suffered brain damage, pneumonia, and abdominal infection, and that she was "fighting for her life."[54] Her condition continued to deteriorate, and she died at 4:45 am on 29 December, Singapore Standard Time (2:15 am, 29 December, IST; 8:45 pm, 28 December, UTC).[56] Her body was cremated on 30 December in Delhi under high police security. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the country's main opposition party, criticised the high security levels, stating that they were reminiscent of the Emergency Era, during which civil liberties were suspended.[57]
Arrests
Police had found and arrested some suspects within 24 hours of the crime.[58] From recordings made by a highway CCTV vehicle, a description of the bus, a white charter bus with a name written on it, was broadcast. Other operators identified it as being contracted by a South Delhi private school. They then traced it and found its driver, Ram Singh. Police obtained sketches of the assailants with the help of the male victim, and used a mobile phone stolen from the two victims to find one of the assailants.[58]
Six men were arrested in connection with the incident. They included Ram Singh, the bus driver, and his brother, Mukesh Singh, who were both arrested in Rajasthan. Ram and Mukesh Singh lived in Ravidas camp, a slum in South Delhi.[59] Vinay Sharma, an assistant gym instructor, and Pawan Gupta, a fruit seller, were both arrested in UP and Bihar.[60] A seventeen-year-old juvenile from Badayun, Uttar Pradesh,[61][62][63] was arrested at the Anand Vihar terminal in Delhi. The juvenile had only met the others that day.[63] Akshay Thakur, who had come to Delhi seeking employment, was arrested in Aurangabad.[60][64]
According to reports, the group had been eating and drinking together and "having a party" earlier in the day.[4] Although the charter bus which Ram Singh drove on weekdays was not permitted to pick up public passengers[27] or even to operate in Delhi because of its tinted windows,[65] they decided to take it out "to have some fun".[4] A few hours before committing the gang rape, the attackers had robbed a carpenter. The carpenter was 35-years old Ram Adhar who boarded the bus which was being driven by Mukesh Singh. The juvenile convict had lured him into the bus saying it was going to Nehru Place. He was then beaten up and robbed of his mobile phone and ₹1500 in cash. After robbing him, the group dumped him at the IIT Flyover. Ram reported about the group in the bus robbing him to three police constables Kailash, Ashok and Sandeep who were passing nearby. They refused to take any action in response, saying that the crime scene wasn't under their purview as they were from the Hauz Khas police station, and that he would have to report the incident to the station in Vasant Vihar.[22][66][67][68]
Shortly after the attacks, Gupta said he accepted his guilt and should be hanged.[69][70] Mukesh Singh, who was placed in Tihar Jail after his arrest, was assaulted by other inmates and was kept in solitary confinement for his own protection.[71]
Ram Singh was presented before the Metropolitan Magistrate on 18 December 2012.[72] He refused to participate in an identification process.[65] Investigation revealed a history of frequent drinking that resulted in "blinding rage", "bad temper", and quarrels with employers, that had led friends to call him "mental".[73] On 11 March, Ram Singh was discovered hanging from a ventilator shaft in his cell at about 5:45 am.[74] Authorities said it was unclear whether it was a suicide or a murder.[75][76][77]
Trial
The male victim, Awindra Pratap Pandey, testified in court on 19 December 2012.[78] Pandey recorded his statement with a sub-divisional magistrate at the Safdarjung Hospital on 21 December, in the presence of the Deputy Commissioner of police.[79]
On 21 December, the government promised to file the charge sheet quickly and seek the maximum penalty of life imprisonment for the perpetrators.[80] Following public outrage and a demand for a speedy trial and prosecution, on 24 December, the police promised to file the charge sheet within one week.[81] The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs met on 27 December to discuss the issue, and Union Home Secretary R. K. Singh and Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar were summoned to appear.[82] The Delhi High Court approved the creation of five fast-track courts to try rape and sexual assault cases.[83] The first of the five approved fast-track courts was inaugurated on 2 January 2013 by Altamas Kabir, Chief Justice of India, in Saket court complex in South Delhi.[84]
On 21 December, the Delhi High Court reprimanded the Delhi police for being "evasive" in a probe status report providing details of officers on patrol duty in the area covered by the bus route.[85] A further court hearing on the matter was scheduled for 9 January 2013.[85] The following day, the Delhi Police initiated action against three Hauz Khas police station personnel for their inaction in responding to the robbery of the carpenter that took place earlier on the bus in the day.[22] On 24 December, two Assistant Commissioners of Police were suspended for failing to prevent the gang rape incident.[86]
Juvenile defendant
The juvenile defendant, whose name was Mohammad Afroz according to some reports[87][88] and also known as "Raju,"[89] was declared as 17 years and six months old on the day of the crime by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), which relied on his birth certificate and school documents. The JJB rejected a police request for a bone ossification (age determination) test for a positive documentation of his age.[90][91][92]
On 28 January 2013, the JJB determined that he would not be tried as an adult. A petition moved by Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy seeking the prosecution of the minor as an adult because of the extremely violent nature of his alleged crime was rejected by the JJB.[93][94][95] The minor was tried separately in a juvenile court.
A verdict in the case was scheduled to be announced on 25 July,[96] but was deferred until 5 August[97] and then deferred again to 19 August.[98] On 31 August, he was convicted of rape and murder under the Juvenile Justice Act and given the maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment in a reform facility, inclusive of the eight months he spent in remand during the trial.[99] The juvenile was released on 20 December 2015.[100]
Adult defendants
Five days after Jyoti's death, on 3 January 2013, the police filed charges against the five adult men for rape, murder, kidnapping,[101][102] destruction of evidence, and the attempted murder of the woman's male companion.[1] Senior lawyer Dayan Krishnan was appointed as the special public prosecutor.[103] Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta denied the charges. Some of the men had confessed earlier, however their lawyers said that their clients had been tortured and that their confessions had been coerced.[104][105]
On 10 January, one of their lawyers, Manohar Lal Sharma, said in a media interview that the victims were responsible for the assault because they should not have been using public transportation and, as an unmarried couple, they should not have been on the streets at night. He went on to say: "Until today I have not seen a single incident or example of rape with a respected lady. Even an underworld don would not like to touch a girl with respect."[106] He also called the male victim "wholly responsible" for the incident because he "failed in his duty to protect the woman".[106]
The Delhi police filed a charge sheet against the defendants on 13 March in the robbery of Ram Adhar.[107]
The four surviving adult defendants went on trial in a fast-track court. The prosecution presented evidence including witness statements, the victim's statement, fingerprints, DNA testing, and dental modelling. It completed its case on 8 July.[9][108]
Conviction and sentencing
On 10 September 2013, the four adult defendants were found guilty of rape, murder, unnatural offences and destruction of evidence.[109] All four men faced the death penalty, and demonstrators outside the courthouse called for the hanging of the defendants.[104][110] The victim's father also called for the defendants to be hanged, stating, "We will get complete closure only if all the accused are wiped off from the face of the earth."[108] Lawyers for three of the four stated that their clients intended to appeal the verdict.[104] The four men were sentenced on 13 September to death by hanging.[12][111] Judge Yogesh Khanna rejected pleas for a lesser sentence saying the case has "shocked the collective conscience of India" and that "courts cannot turn a blind eye to such crimes."[11][13] The victim's family was present for the sentencing and her mother expressed satisfaction over the verdict saying, "We were waiting with bated breath, now we are relieved. I thank the people of my country and the media."[112] After the verdict was delivered, the people waiting outside the courtroom applauded.[112]
On 13 March 2014, the Delhi High Court found all the defendants guilty of rape, murder, unnatural offences and destruction of evidence. With the verdict, the High Court confirmed death sentence for all four men convicted in September 2013. The court noted that the crime, which stirred widespread protests over sexual crimes against women in the country, fell into the judicial system's "rarest of rare category" that allows capital punishment.[113] The lawyers of the four men said they would appeal to the Supreme Court.[14]
On 15 March 2014, the Supreme Court of India stayed the execution of two of the four convicts, Singh and Gupta, to allow them to make their appeal against their conviction on 31 March.[114] This was further extended by the court to the second week of July.[115] On 2 June, the two other convicts, Sharma and Thakur, also asked the Supreme Court to stay their execution to allow them to make an appeal of their convictions.[116][117] On 14 July, their execution was also stayed by Supreme Court.[118] On 27 August 2015, Vinay, Akshay, Mukesh and Pawan were convicted of robbing Ram Adhar and were later sentenced to 10-years imprisonment.[66][107]
On 5 May 2017, the Supreme Court rejected the convicts' appeal and saying they had committed "a barbaric crime" that had "shaken society's conscience," the court upheld the death sentence of the four who had been charged in the murder. The verdict was well received by the family of the victim and the civil society. According to legal experts, the convicts still had the right to file a review petition to the Supreme Court.[119] On 9 July 2018, the Supreme Court rejected a review petition by three of the convicts.[120][121]
Public protests
After the incident


Students protest at Raisina Hill, Rajpath, New Delhi

Public protests took place in New Delhi on 21 December 2012 at India Gate and Raisina Hill, the latter being the location of both the Parliament of India and Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India. Thousands of protesters clashed with police and battled Rapid Action Force units.[122] Demonstrators were baton charged,[123] shot with water cannon and tear gas shells, and arrested.[124]
Similar protests occurred throughout the country. More than 600 women belonging to various organisations demonstrated in Bangalore.[125][126] Thousands of people silently marched in Kolkata.[127] Protests occurred online as well on the social networking sites Facebook and WhatsApp, with users replacing their profile images with a black dot symbol.[128] Tens of thousands signed an online petition protesting the incident.[129]
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev and former Army chief General Vijay Kumar Singh were among the demonstrators who clashed with Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar.[130] On 24 December, activist Rajesh Gangwar started a hunger strike, saying about the accused men, "If my death shakes the system and gets them hanged, I am ready to die".[131] Gangwar ended his fast after 14 days, saying, "My fight to demand a strict law against rape will be continued in the future... I have dedicated myself for this cause".[132] Middle Finger Protests, a Chandigarh-based pressure group and NGO headed by human rights and social activist Prabhloch Singh, also played a key role in the agitations and protests in New Delhi.[133][134][135]



Police used water cannon and tear gas to attempt to break up the protestors.
Seven metro rail stations in New Delhi were closed on 22 December to discourage protesters from gathering at Raisina Hill.[136] On 24 December, police blocked roads leading to India Gate and Raisina Hill to prevent possible mass protests, and closed nine metro stations, affecting thousands of transit patrons. News reporters were not allowed to reach India Gate and Raisina Hill. In addition to CrPC section 144, which disallows assembly of groups larger than five, curfew was imposed near the presidential residence.[137] The Hindustan Times accused police of using excessive force against the protestors, reporting that 375 tear gas canisters were used at India Gate and elsewhere in Delhi to disperse the crowds.[138] An article in First Post criticised the Indian government as well, saying that they failed to act positively or give credible assurances to the protesters and instead used police force, lathi-charging, pushing the media out of the scene, and shutting down metro rail stations.[139]
Police stated that peaceful protests had been "hijacked" by hooligans and political activists.[140]
During one protest, a police constable named Subhash Tomar collapsed and later died in hospital.[141] Two witnesses claimed that Tomar collapsed without being hit by any protesters, while a third disputed this.[142] Hospital doctors and the post-mortem gave contradictory reports: he died due to cardiac arrest, but it is not known if the heart attack was caused by blunt-force injuries that he suffered to his chest and neck.[143] Some experts state that his chest injuries may have been a side effect of the administration of CPR.[144][145] The Delhi Police arrested 8 young men and charged them with Tomar's murder and rioting at India Gate. Later in March 2013, the police admitted in the High Court they had no evidence against the eight and gave them a clean chit.[146] The youths said the move by the commissioner of police to charge them with murder had been "irresponsible".[147]
After the victim's death

After Jyoti Singh's death on 29 December 2012, protests were staged throughout India, including Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar and Visakhapatnam. Many of the mourners carried candles and wore black dress; some pasted black cloth across their mouths.[148]



Google published a special Doodle to pay tribute to the victim

The following day a large number of people staged protests near Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.[149] There were minor clashes between some groups of protesters and the police; the police then removed some protesters from the area.[149] One group of protesters also observed a one-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.[149] All roads leading to India Gate were closed by police and areas where protesters had gathered during the previous week were out of bounds to the public.[149] Some of the protesters drew graffiti and slogans on papers spread on the road, condemning the incident and demanding stricter laws and speedy judgement.[150] The BJP renewed its demand for a special parliament session to discuss the case and to adopt stricter laws on crime against women.[57]
New Year's celebrations were scaled down to a large extent, with the Indian armed forces and some clubs and hotels in Delhi cancelling their New Year parties.[151]
The Indian protests also sparked protests across South Asia, including marches and rallies in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In Nepal, hundreds of demonstrators in Kathmandu called for legal reforms and an overhaul of attitudes to women. In Bangladesh the human rights group Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) said the protests in Delhi had given fresh impetus to protests against sexual violence. According to an ASK spokesperson, "although previous demonstrations on similar issues were largely dominated by women, men were now protesting too. The protests had also drawn people from a broad range of society."[152]



People protest with candlelight tributes at Bidhannagar ("Salt Lake City") in Kolkata on 29 December 2012

In Paris, people participated in a march to the Indian embassy where a petition was handed over asking for action to make India safer for women.[153]
An author for the South Asia Analysis Group explained the protests as expressions of middle-class angst arising out of a collapse of a social contract between them and the liberal state.[154] New Delhi has the highest number of sex crimes among India's major cities. Police figures show a rape reported on average every 18 hours; reported rape cases rose by nearly 17 percent between 2007 and 2011.[155] Only one of the 706 rape cases filed in Delhi in 2012 saw a successful conviction against the attacker.[76] Between 16 December and 4 January, 501 calls for harassment and 64 calls for rape were recorded by the Delhi Police, but only four were followed up by inquiries.[152] The regional programme director for U.N. Women South Asia said, "There are rape cases in almost all cities and rural areas, where the victim dies immediately because of the brutality of the crime ... This time, it was like, 'Wake up.'"[156]

Not much of a problem if an angmo rapes another angmo or a chink. It is very serious if angmo rapes a Burmese or a Malay.
