5 Men Charged With Murder in New Delhi Gang Rape

By RAVI NESSMAN and ASHOK SHARMA Associated Press
NEW DELHI January 3, 2013 (AP)

Five men accused of raping a university student for hours on a bus as it drove through India's capital were charged with murder, rape and other crimes that could bring them the death penalty.

The attack on the 23-year-old woman, who died of severe internal injuries over the weekend, provoked a fierce debate across India about the routine mistreatment of females and triggered daily protests demanding action.

There have been signs of change since the attack. Rapes, often ignored, have become front-page news, politicians have called for tougher laws, including the death penalty and chemical castration for rapists, and the government is examining wide-scale reforms in the criminal justice system's handling of sexual assaults. Activists say the tragedy could mark a turning point for women's rights.

In a nation where court cases often linger for years, the government set up a special fast-track court Wednesday to deal with crimes against woman, and that is where the charges against the five men were filed Thursday evening. The government said it planned to open four more such courts in the city.

Prosecutor Rajiv Mohan filed a case of rape, tampering with evidence, kidnapping, murder and other charges against the men. The charge sheet was not released and he asked for a closed trial. A hearing was set for Saturday.

The men charged were Ram Singh, the bus driver; his brother Mukesh Singh, who cleans buses for the same company; Pavan Gupta, a fruit vendor; Akshay Singh, a bus washer; and Vinay Sharma, a fitness trainer. They did not appear in court. Authorities have said they would push for the death penalty for the men.

The victim's father said he supported the death penalty.

"The toughest and the harshest punishment should be given," he said, adding that he thought a new law should be named after his daughter.

A sixth suspect, listed as a 17-year-old, was expected to be tried in a juvenile court, where the maximum sentence would be three years in a reform facility. Police also detained the owner of the bus on accusations he used false documents to obtain permits to run the private bus service.

The Bar Association said its lawyers would not defend the suspects because of the nature of the crime, but the court was expected to appoint attorneys to defend them.

"Strict, strict, strict punishment should be given to them," said Ashima Sharma, an 18-year-old student attending a protest Thursday. "A very strict punishment ... that all men of India should be aware that they are not going to treat the women like the way they treated her."

The woman was attacked Dec. 16 after boarding the bus with a male companion after watching an evening showing of the movie "Life of Pi" at an upscale mall. The vehicle was a charter bus that illegally picked up the two passengers, authorities said.

The pair were attacked for hours as the bus drove through the city, even passing through police checkpoints during the assault. They were eventually dumped naked on the side of the road. The woman, whose name was not released, was assaulted with an iron bar and suffered severe internal injuries that eventually proved fatal.

The attack caused outrage across India, where women are routinely subject to everything from catcalls to assaults. Many say they fear being outside at night.

Outside the court, about 50 woman lawyers held a protest, demanding wholesale changes in the criminal justice system to ensure justice for women. "Punish the police, sensitize judiciary, eradicate rape," read one protester's sign.

Indian Chief Justice Altamas Kabir said the accused should be tried swiftly, but cautioned that they needed to be given a fair trial and not be subjected to mob justice.

"Let us not lose sight of the fact that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty," he told reporters Wednesday, while inaugurating the new fast-track court. "Let us balance things. Let us not get carried away. Provide justice in a fair but swift manner so that faith of people is once again restored that the judiciary is there behind the common man."

Many cases never even get to court because of intense social pressure against families reporting sexual assaults, which are often blamed on the female victims. When women do report rapes, police often refuse to file charges and pressure the victims to reach a compromise with their attackers.

To try to rectify that, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde announced a special recruitment drive for women police officers Thursday and ordered every police station in the capital to be staffed by at least nine female officers to make them more attentive to women's needs.

In a sign attitudes might be changing, and that even powerful men are being held accountable, police in the northeastern state of Assam arrested a leader of the ruling Congress party Thursday on accusations he raped a woman in a village in the early hours of the morning.

Footage on Indian television showed the extraordinary scene of local women surrounding the man, ripping off his shirt and repeatedly slapping him across the face.

Police said the man, Bikram Singh Brahma, was visiting the village of Santipur on the Bhutan border when he entered a woman's house and raped her at 2 a.m. Amid the screams, villagers ran to the home and captured the man, said G.P. Singh, a senior police officer in the area.

"We are taking this issue very seriously," Singh said.

...one good thing that seems to be coming from that poor girls death is the fact that the raping of women in India is no longer going to be an accepted way of life anymore... all those protesting female lawyers should be so proud of themselves... they are now recruiting female police officers to deal with these cases now... 9 women to be posted into all police stations... things really are beginning to change already... let's hope that swell of outrage continues... cheers.

Could not agree more, just sad it has taken this to start changes
 
Good heavens, the poor women and girls aren't safe travelling with a guy.
They are organising themselves into groups to travel, and they are organising private security.
They are learning self defence, I reckon those Indian women are angry enough to get some good vigilante groups going - and they may start lopping of male bits:)

Love all lawyers are refusing to defend the bastards. They have a heap of evidence. And the one dickhead may be underage - they are testing his bones to check his age.
 
...it's not looking good in Tasmania... over 90 homes burnt down according to a report on Channel 9...



One feared dead as devastating Tasmania fire downgraded




THE major fire at Bicheno in Tasmania's east has been downgraded and the Tasman Highway has been reopened.

The Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) has issued an ''advice'' alert level for the fire, which was earlier classified at an emergency warning level.

The TFS says the fire danger rating in the area is low to moderate, and there is no immediate threat to communities.

The Tasman Highway has been re-opened and motorists are being urged to be cautious due to possible smoke and emergency services vehicles in the area.

The fire is still not under control and authorities say people may experience embers, smoke and ash falling on Coles Bay Road, south of Apsley River, and the Tasman Highway, south of Bicheno.

Back burning off the Cole Bay Road will continue through the night and residents are advised that they should not be alarmed if there is more smoke in this area.

Earlier, the fire at Forcett, east of Hobart, was downgraded to a watch and act level as cooler weather spread across the island state.

The Forcett fire, which has scorched about 15,000 hectares, was earlier classified at an Emergency Warning level.


More than a dozen properties have been lost south of Bicheno, with more than a 100 feared lost overall.

Victoria was planning to send 65 firefighters to help tonight.

Thousands flee areas of Tasmania as fires spread

The Tasman Peninsula fire claimed at least 80 properties and left thousands of people isolated yesterday night.

Police and commercial boats were being used to ferry in supplies and ferry out people most in need.

No deaths or serious injuries have yet been confirmed, but Deputy Police Commissioner Scott Tilyard earlier said a team was on the ground at Dunalley to investigate a fire crew's concerns that a man may have been trapped while trying to defend his house.


Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the federal government was supporting the fire effort.

''We are working with the state government to support people and make sure that they get through,'' Ms Gillard told ABC radio.

''My message is there's only one you.

''Everything else in life at the end of the day, no matter how precious, can be replaced.

''What can't be replaced is a human life.''


Insurers declared the bushfire-hit towns a catastrophe and police powers were increased when the Tasman Peninsula was declared a serious-incident site.


The Insurance Industry Council of Australia's declaration included the towns of Dunalley, Connellys Marsh, Forcett, Copping, Murdunna, Boomer Bay, Primrose Sands, Susans Bay, Eaglehawk Neck and Taranna.

Electricity company Aurora told people whose power had been cut off to expect delays of several weeks before it was restored.

About 300 poles were down on the Tasman Peninsula.

Property losses from the peninsula fire have been huge, with 30 per cent of the buildings in the small community of Dunalley, 55km southeast of Hobart, destroyed.

These included the school, police station and bakery.


At Connellys Marsh, 40 per cent of the buildings are gone, including three houses at Copping and several at Primrose Sands.


Twenty houses have been lost around Murdunna.

Several thousand people, many of them tourists, are stranded with access roads closed.

Around 700 are taking refuge at the Port Arthur historic site, another 2000 at a community centre at Nubeena and more than 50 at the Dunalley pub.

And a flotilla of boats is the lifeline for thousands of people stranded on the Tasman Peninsula as bushfires continue to rage out of control.

Recreational and commercial vessels are being used to bring in thousands of meals and other essential supplies and to evacuate people most in need.

Police said today that 600 people, many of them visitors to the area, were set to spend a second night at convict ruins.

There were 2000 people at a temporary refuge in Nubeena and another 100 at the Dunalley Hotel.

The road into the peninsula, the Arthur Highway, has been closed since Friday.

Boats delivered 3000 meals as well as fuel, water and health workers.

A generator was being sought as power is out in much of the area.

Acting police commissioner Scott Tilyard said he was hopeful some vehicles could be escorted from the peninsula.

He said tourists were obviously keen to get out.

It had been ''a long night for many people but the main thing is that they have been safe'', he said.

Up to 1000 people were reported to have been taken out by boat overnight, but police could not confirm the number.


''I would imagine there'll be numerous stories about the heroic and risky approaches that were taken out there,'' TFS chief commissioner Mike Brown said.

No deaths or serious injuries have been confirmed.

A fire in the Derwent Valley northwest of Hobart was affecting the communities of Ellendale and Karanja, but the extent of property damage was unknown.

Conditions across southern Tasmania today were cooler than yesterday, when Hobart reached 41.8C - its hottest since record keeping began in 1883.

State fire chief Mike Brown said similar conditions in 1967 had resulted in the loss of 2000 homes and 62 lives.

''I would imagine there'll be numerous stories about the heroic and risky approaches that were taken out there,'' he said.

''The big outcome for us ... is that at the moment there looks to be no loss of life or injuries.''

He said this was because of the way ''we put out our warnings, and clearly a lot of people did heed those warnings''.

I feel so bad for the folks in Tassie.......I'd never heard of such wild fires down there. I do hope it wasn't arson because more then likely the fuckwad will get off with no charges...... Why can't we burn down their homes and see how they like it?

And in Ohio

On August 11, 2012 two members of the Big Red High School football team in Steubenville, Ohio – USA were arrested and charged with the rape and kidnapping of an out of town 16 year old girl. At the time of this gang rape, the girl was intoxicated and unconscious. The victim had been intentionally drugged with a “date rape” intoxicant. She was photographed in this condition, and there is evidence that she was hauled in a comatose state to multiple parties – and almost certainly raped by more members of the local high school football team than just the two players who currently stand charged. There is even evidence that she was urinated upon during this hideous assault.

OMG what the fuck is wrong with humanity? Is such a large part of it so messed up that things like this and the rape on a bus in India keep happening and getting reported. On that one of the attackers opened the girl up and tried to pull out her intestines. WTF?

Sometimes I think the human race is a disease.

One is thought to be a campfire left not put out properly prior to the total fire ban. Another is thought to have been lit. And the one about an hour near me was a dry lightening strike. We had lots of strikes yesterday morning along the nw coast it was bound to happen, thankfully only the one bad one.

"Last Night I ..." saw a worthwhile lookng TV advert on QLD free2air that reminded me of this post.

Advert showed a bunch of dads doing rough and tumble stuff with their kids (stuff talked about in the links in the quoted prior post of mine) and was put out under the banner of "dads4kids" which is part of the Fatherhood Foundation.

See: http://www.fatherhood.org.au/

Couldn't see their latest advert on youtube as yet though.

Twas news to me that that kind of positive / pro "traditional" family kind of stuff is being promoted in Oz on commercial TV and radio !

I thought the nation, particularly main stream media and the "education" system, was now well and truly owned and ruled by misandrists and their bed buddies.

Good to see there is some sort of fight back going on. A pity it hasn't made it to W.A. as yet.

I expect the Christ Hating feminazis and their fellow misandrists will have managed to have the dads4kids adverts banned as being "homophobic" or "promoting kiddie fiddling" by then though ...

After all, as they have already managed to influence airline policy so that unaccompanied kids are not allowed to be sat next a non-related male adult on flights, the likes of the dads4kids adverts surely must be sending them into frothing fits of handwringing and complaint.

Like, how dare a dad balance his daughter on his feet as he lays upon his back or wrestle with his son on the lawn !?

Anyhoo, all that said, I must add "How dare parents bring their kids to a resort island and allow them to run up and down with their bony heels in the room directly above you at 10.30pm at night !" :D

(onya resort management who speedily gave us a new and upgraded room when I expressed my disappointment ;))

Hmmmm, just had a new idea for the Statists to try rather than endlessly doling out ever increasing unaffordable welfare in the form of "baby bonus"s and "parenting payments".

Have all fertile types implanted with contraceptives which can/will only be removed after (1) it can be shown that the wannabebreeders are likely to be able to properly financially provide for the kid(s) until they can leave home and (2) they have spent a weekend as a childless couple on a resort island mostly populated by couples with Very Young families that are squawking, squirming, squeeling, screaming, stomping, shrieking night and day inside and out, above you, below you, near everywhere you go.

Then, if they still want the contraceptives turned off/removed, commit them to a mental institution so that, at very least, they can receive the obvious help they need re: masochistic tendencies.

In short, "Hamilton Island" is a Great Place to holiday ... and "Daydream Island", not so much ... well, not for a family-unfriendly couple like LSCP and I. Oh well, at least we're all but off on a "no kids" live-aboard 90km+ offshore on the GBR now.

Great to see the "dads4kids" advert but I'd rather be snorkling with a bunch of reef sharks while leaking blood into the water from a coral cut leg than share a resort pool with the kind of creatures that congregate there, regardless of the healthy "dads4kids" rough and tumble going on.

When at Daydream and it came to swimming, it was ocean or nothing for me.

... and that's my news for the day. Now, where is my book and ear-plugs and how long til the ferry ?

Well lots of pages on this. The Defense team says that the outrage on social media will harm the case. The football team was accused of raping a teenager then taking her unconscious body from house to house where various parties were and she was further raped.

This is like the seamy side to American football culture where even as teenagers they are held up as mini gods. More links about this and a youtube.

http://localleaks.blogs.ru/

And Anonmymous have also gotten involved in this case, taking up the cause against all of the accused.

So who is to blame for this? Is it the parents who have no idea what their darlings are up to? The coaches and "boosters" (No idea what team boosters are) or just that in some USA towns it seems the football teams run the towns... Sick culture.
