These are the two women in India who were gang raped and then left hanging from a tree. I am sorry to share this picture and upset people but pressure must be put on the Indian Government. I will now be boycotting India until women’s rights improve. Shame on India.

The girls were cousins aged 14 and 16. A police officer and two other people have been arrested. This happened in a northern Indian village, Katra Sadatganj.

Villagers were angry and protested, stopping the police from taking down the bodies for 15 hours on Wednesday.

An autopsy confirmed the girls had been raped and strangled said the police. Armed police have been deployed to the village in case of any further unrest.

Apparently some people saw the abduction but were unable to stop it. The girl’s families accused three brothers of carrying out the rape and killing. Two of the brothers are now in custody, said R.K.S. Rathore, a deputy-inspector general of police. Families of the victim also accused the police of failing to respond and siding with the attackers, which has fueled anger in the village. Three police officers have been temporarily suspended for negligence of duty, and another one was arrested.
