Brutal Gangrape and Naked Parade of Women Creates National Outrage in India

New Delhi, July 22 (RHC)-- In India, protesters have taken to the streets after a video went viral on social media showing dozens of men sexually assaulting two women in the northeastern state of Manipur.  The incident took place in May, but the video surfaced just this week due to an internet ban in the region.  

The main suspect was arrested Thursday, accused of dragging the two women, aged 21 and 42, onto the street and inciting a mob of over two dozen men to assault them and then parade them on the streets naked.  At least one of them was raped by the mob. 

Manipur has recently seen soaring ethnic violence between the majority Meitei group and the tribal Kuki minority. The two women assaulted in the video are Kuki. 

The families of the two survivors have denounced police misconduct, saying it took law enforcement months to address the case.
