A court in India ordered the release of 11 Hindu men who gang-raped a pregnant Muslim woman in 2002 and killed seven of her family members.

Themen involved in the Bilkis Bano case were freed on remission on Monday from Gujarat’s Godhra town jail as India celebrated the 75th anniversary of the end of British rule.

The men were previously convicted in early 2008 and given life sentences for the rape of Bano, a then-21-year-old pregnant Muslim woman, amid the Hindu-Muslim riots in 2002. She was five months pregnant at the time of her rape.

The riots in Gujarat, which were considered some of India’s worst religious unrest in modern times, led to the deaths of more than 1,000 people, many of whom were Muslims. The violence was triggered by the deaths of 59 Hindu pilgrims on board a train that caught fire. Hindu right-wing groups blamed Muslim extremists for the incident.

Current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi previously led Gujarat as chief minister. Today, his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party continues to rule the state.

As Indian law allows convicts to seek remission after 14 years of jail time, the state government reportedly approved the men’s application for remission. The district jail advisory committee cited the time the men had spent in jail and their good behavior and recommended their release.

The men were also convicted of killing seven of Bano’s family, including her 3-year-old daughter Saleha, whose head was reportedly smashed on the ground.

so... to paraphrase whoopi goldberg it’s not really ‘life’ life sentences...

I will not judge other peoples and cultures, lest I be seen as bigoted and rassist.

Getting out for “good behaivor” means not murdering more than one or two fellow prisoners a year or disemboweling more than one guard.

Judge can emigrate to NYC any time. Soft on crime.

Does India have family blood vendettas like other countries?

Our Bible’s “eye for an eye” was a curtailment on the widespread and expected Middle Eastern custom of family feud bloodletting. It meant ONLY something as low and small as one thing for the same thing, not ongoing any more.

The Hatfields and the McCoys were genuine according to Napoleon Hill (Thank and Grow Rich author and advisor to FDR). Started over a $2 value boar pig and went on for years in Wise County, Virginia region. Old ways.

Let EVERYONE into the UnitedStates you raciss

Thus spake Bush/Gates/Soros/Schwab et al.

While unjust, there is a weird man-bites-dog angle to this story that got my attention.

How so very multi-culti of them!

Remember, it is an academic truism the Western Civilization is unworthy of study unless as a foil against how bad it is against other cultures.

Yikes 😳

[for-q-clinton]

I guess it’s only legal for Muslim men to rape mulsim women.

[Jane Austen]

A horror story.

[GaltAdonis]

Cut them a break - they didn't also rape the family goat. They had the opportunity, you know. So they're really nice guys when you get to know them...

Indians are just as bad as Islamic Cult. And we’ve allowed millions amongst us.

[colorado tanker]

So, basically these guys are getting paroled??? How can that make any sense? Was money exchanged?

[Tired of Taxes]

They murdered 7 people, including a 3-year-old girl, and raped a pregnant woman. Why weren’t they put to death?

[Steve Van Doorn]

said, "basically these guys are getting paroled??? How can that make any sense?"

If you read it in the main stream media it's likely fabricated. I know nothing about this story. But the last time I remember they fabricated a story about how Hindu's where harassing Muslims it turned out it was the other way around.
Quick search this is Bilkis Bano the lady that has accused a bunch of Hindu's of gang raping her.

Just mimicing several US Blue states/cites.

There, fixed it.

So look at the FR article posted at 8/17/2022, 5:22:23 PM about a guy who killed one or two people in Seattle, and now we owe him $36K.

How the hell are the two any different?

[Whatever Works]

It is stories such as these that make me recall why I do not believe in a one world government. There are those who think it would erase war and eliminate all divisions. Then there are the realists that ask, “Which form of government gets chosen? And who would rule?”

We are not all the same. Our values and civilities differ.... ENORMOUSLY! Diversity is NOT a strength no matter how many times they lie to you and tell you it is. Diversity destroys cultures and civilizations. It has always been so.

Who, exactly, is asking the question? Wokester?

I, for one, am above questioning Indian culture...ESPECIALLY when it comes to muslims.
