NEW DELHI, July 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – India’s supreme court on Monday upheld
death sentences handed down to three men over the gang-rape and murder of a
woman in New Delhi in 2012, saying there were no grounds for a review.

Jyoti Singh was raped by a gang of five men and a teenager on a bus. The
case triggered angry protests by thousands of people as well as soul-
searching about the country’s treatment of women.
