"Your eyes do not deceive you. An unelected all-male
village council in India has ordered that 23-year-old Meenakshi Kumari
and her 15-year-old sister are raped. The ‘sentence’ was handed down as punishment after their
brother eloped with a married woman. They also ordered for the sisters
to be paraded naked with blackened faces.
Nothing could justify this abhorrent punishment. It’s not fair. It’s not
right. And it’s against the law. Demand that the local authorities
intervene immediately."
