BANGLADESH: FIVE MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR 2012 GANG RAPE OF TEEN

October 18, 2020:

A Bangladesh court on 15 October 2020 sentenced five men to death for the 2012 gang rape of a 15-year-old girl, amid growing public anger over rampant sexual violence.
The sentence was handed down in the northern district of Tangailby by a special tribunal set up to deal with cases of abuse against women and children, the AFP news agency reported.
Prosecutor Nasim Ahmed said the victim’s boyfriend took her to a riverside spot where she was raped by him and two friends. Two others helped them.
“All five were found guilty and have been sentenced to death,” Ahmed told AFP.
It was the first conviction since the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina this week introduced the death penalty for rape.
At least 208 cases of gang rape – a fifth of a total of nearly 1,000 cases – were reported in the first nine months of this year, according to Ain o Salish Kendra, a local rights group.
Bangladesh has hanged 23 people since 2013, while at least another 1,718 are on death row.
Rights activists have criticised the introduction of the death sentence for rape, saying it will not reduce violence against women.
“This regressive step is a fig leaf that deflects attention from the lack of real action to address the appalling brutality faced by so many Bangladeshi women,” Amnesty International said.
“Executions perpetuate violence, they don’t prevent it.”
