India: 6 get life for Swiss gang rape

2013-07-20 20:02

New Delhi - Six men accused in the gang-rape and robbery of a 39-year-old Swiss woman cyclist holidaying in India were sentenced to life terms on Saturday by a court in central India.

"All the accused have been convicted and we are satisfied with the judgement," said the public prosecutor in the case, Rajendra Tiwari, after the ruling handed down by a special court, the semi-official Press Trust of India and other local media reported.

The rape of the Swiss woman came three months after the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a bus in Delhi in December, which brought simmering anger about the treatment of women in India to the surface.

India's legal system has faced intense scrutiny over its efforts to curb violence against women in the world's largest democracy following the Delhi gang rape in which the victim died of horrific internal injuries.

The six sentenced to life on Saturday were detained soon after the attack on the Swiss woman in mid-March in a remote, forested area of Datia district in central Madhya Pradesh state where the victim was camping with her husband.

Her 30-year-old husband was tied up as the woman was assaulted and the pair were also robbed, according to police.

Massive demonstrations

Only four of the six were charged with gang-rape because testimony from the victim said two of them were "only present at the crime scene", according to ML Dhody, a Datia police officer.

The other two accused were charged with assault and robbery but still received life-sentences.

Five of the men were farmers in their twenties while the sixth was 19 at the time of the attack, police said.

Weeks of massive demonstrations over the Delhi rape prompted India's parliament to toughen sex offence laws including doubling the minimum prison sentence for gang-rape to 20 years.

The trial of four adult suspects - another died while in jail from a suspected suicide in March - is underway in Delhi.

A fifth accused is being tried as a juvenile.

String of rapes

One woman is raped every 20 minutes, the National Crime Records Bureau says. But the crime is vastly under-reported because of the social stigma associated with such attacks.

The Swiss couple were reported to be on an adventure tourism trip in India and were cycling through northern the part of the country.

There have been a string of rapes involving foreigners reported in the past months.

Indian police said in June they investigating the gang-rape of a US tourist by a group of truckers while an Irish charity worker was reported to have been raped in the eastern city of Kolkata that same month.

Joe Biden to visit India from July 22; trade, defence on agenda




Joe Biden to visit India from July 22; trade, defence on agenda Washington: Joe Biden will embark on his maiden visit to India as US Vice President on July 22 to discuss key bilateral issues, including trade and defence, to make Indo-US ties the most important strategic partnership of the 21st century.

During his four-day-long stay in India, Biden will hold meetings with top Indian leadership, including President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Biden, accompanied by his wife Jill would arrive in New Delhi on July 22, would focus on four key issues of economic and trade ties, energy and climate change; defense co-operation and a wide range of regional co-operation.

Biden, 70, had visited New Delhi in 2008 as a Senator.

He will also hold talks with Vice President Hamid Ansari and the Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj.

Biden, who wanted to travel to India in the first term itself, would begin his trip with a visit to the Gandhi Smriti Museum to show his respect to the Father of the Nation.

All his meetings have been scheduled for July 23, at the end of which he would attend a dinner hosted in his honour by Ansari.

Biden would spend the next two days, July 24 and 25 -- in Mumbai, where he would meet the business leaders at a round table and deliver a policy speech at the Bombay Stock Exchange.

He is expected to set up an "ambitious vision" for India- US relationship, in addition to the a women's empowerment event at IIT Mumbai.

He would leave for Singapore on July 25.

All this while, Jill would hold a series of health and nutritional events in New Delhi and Mumbai and visit the Taj Mahal in Agra.

Biden, however, would not be visiting the Taj Mahal.

"One of the reasons why President (Barack) Obama called our relations with India, quote, 'a defining partnership of the century ahead' is that India is increasingly looking east as a force for security and growth in Southeast Asia and beyond," Biden told an audience at the prestigious George Washington University here today.

"India is obviously a key player and increasingly so in the Asia Pacific region. The United States and India have an increasingly bilateral relationship as our countries grow and deepen ties incredibly in broad range of areas," a senior Obama administration official told reporters during a conference call.

Four areas in particular would be at the top of the agenda of the visit of the Vice President, he said.

"The first would be of economic cooperation, where the Vice President would focus on issues of investment policies to intellectual property and speak to how we can work together to close the gap between where we are today and where we can be in our bilateral trade and investment and in our cooperations in multi-lateral trade investment forum," the official said.

In the second area of energy and climate, the official said Biden would speak to the work that the two countries need to do together to realise the promise of the civil nuclear agreement and the work that the two nations should be doing together to be leaders on addressing global challenge on climate change.

Identifying defence co-operation as the third area, the official said the US and India have built a strong foundation in this over the past few years.

"The Vice President would come to talk together, how we can come together to build even stronger and deeper co-operation going forward," he said.

The wide range of regional co-operation that the United States and India has embarked upon both in South Asia and East Asia relating to maritime security to counter terrorism would be the fourth area of focus of Biden's trip, he said.

In his policy speeches in Mumbai, Biden is expected to set out an "ambitious vision" for India US relationship.

"On the issue of defence and security, and regional co-operation I think he would point out that increasingly United States and India are coming into strategic convergence in terms of what our key interests are and how we can pursue them, related to maritime security and freedom of navigation, related to issues of stability to create regional integration and growth," the official said.

"It will be a speech geared not towards policy makers or government officials, but to the people of India," the senior administration official said.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.2 Update Cancelled, Says Carrier

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.2.2 update has been withdrawn by Samsung in favor of a newer version of Android, this according to Australian carrier Telstra who has relayed that information to its Galaxy Note 2 owners today.

Several days ago, a suspicious rumor popped up stating that Samsung had delayed the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.2 updates again and because of that, it would likely be moving on to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean instead. The rumor, at the time, seemed a bit odd considering that we?d seen Android 4.2 leak for the Galaxy S3 and the updates were both rumored for arrival in the third quarter after an internal delay.

Turns out, there might be some truth to that rumor as Australian carrier Telstra has told its Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners that the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update has been ?withdrawn? and that the company will be pushing to update the Galaxy Note 2 with a newer version of Android which likely means Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Here is the full quote that the carrier provides:
