"Supreme Court Restores Life Sentences for 11 Men in Bilkis Bano Case"
TL;DR Summary
India's Supreme Court has reinstated life prison sentences for 11 Hindu men who raped a Muslim woman during the 2002 religious riots in Gujarat, asking them to surrender within two weeks. The men were released in 2022 after serving 14 years in prison, but a revised policy now prohibits remission release for certain crimes. The victim, who lost seven family members in the riots, filed a petition expressing outrage at the convicts' premature release, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was Gujarat's top official at the time, has faced allegations regarding the authorities' role in the violence.
