India - March 4

Defence lawyers in the case of the Nirbhaya rape case have openly accused the victim for the crime. Defence lawyer AP Singh has condemned the recent airing of the documentary about the incident, stating that this would lead the trial to become a "media trial." The Nirbhaya rape case was highly publicized internationally in December 2012, when a young female was beaten and raped in a bus while travelling with a male friend, ultimately resulting in her death.
