    Maybe because of the crime being driven by Muslim hate and the modi govt’s stance on Indian Muslims?

    not a good look for India with the rape culture and horrid stories coming out regularly. Can’t have dudes that bashed the heads of little girls in like this walking free.

    Need some moderates in office, the Current govts course is not sustainable

    Sadly, that's way far from the norm.

    Shocking. Are they claiming that the evidence used to convinced these men wasn’t rock solid and using that as an excuse? Doesn’t seem so.

    From the article:



    Sujal Mayatra, the official who led the panel in Gujarat that recommended the men’s release, said the decision was based on various factors.

    “They had completed 14 years of tenure. We enquired about their conduct and parole time,” he said. “The nature of crime and victim’s safety was also taken into consideration.”

    In India, life sentences are meant to last until death, but convicts are eligible to seek early release after 14 years. While the latest remission policy says those convicted of rape and murder cannot be released prematurely, the policy at the time of the Bano case did not make that distinction

    In a 2017 BBC interview, Bano said she was fleeing the violence in a group of 17 that included her mother and young siblings in March 2002 when a mob accosted them.


    Besides raping Bano and killing her daughter, the men gang-raped her cousin before murdering her and her 2-day-old baby. Bano was one of only three people from the group to survive the massacre.

    Human rights lawyer Vrinda Grover, who has been part of efforts to reform legislation on violence against women, described the government’s decision as “grossly arbitrary and discriminatory.”

    “The mask of the government being concerned about sexual violence against women has slipped. This is a majoritarian state signaling impunity for hate crimes,” she said.

    Bano’s case took years to work its way through the Indian justice system, finally resulting in convictions in 2008. All the while, she was a target of death threats, forced to move frequently and live in hiding.​

    It’s disgusting, and I don’t think the 3rd world country excuse can sit much longer, India is heralded as some tolerant country (and at one point was much more so) but appears to be a terrible place for someone not born into a high caste, is male, and Hindu.

    Nature of the crime being taken into account??? Like I said , absolutely disgusting. Bashing in a 2 year olds head, Murdering others and gang raping countless more.

    hopefully Indian citizens can stand up for values they claim to pride themselves on such as the teaching of ghandi
