At 19 years she was a woman, an adult.

End of rant.

I also know I'm being bitchy but the headline is what matters to me.

B- beautiful

The Police Bureau of Investigation said it would file the chargesheet in a court in the south of the country on Wednesday against 16 people, > including two women in the same class as Rafi. “They are charged under the women and children repression law and we will recommend the death penalty for all 16 accused,” said the PBI’s lead investigator, Mohammad Iqbal.

> Rafi had gone to police in late March to report the alleged sexual harassment against the teacher and a leaked video shows the local police station chief registering her complaint but dismissing it as “not a big deal”.
> Iqbal said at least five people had tied her up with a scarf before setting her on fire. The plan was to pass the incident off as suicide.

Rafi’s brother, Mahmudul Hasan Noman, said they wanted a fast-track trial. “We want all the culprits to be hanged to death,” he said. The head of Mahila Parishad, a women’s rights group, gave a guarded welcome to the quick investigation but said more needed to be done to end a “culture of impunity” over sexual harassment and rape cases. “Very few rape cases end in convictions,” she said.
> According to the group, about 950 women were raped in Bangladesh last year.

The evil cretins who did this should never see the light of day again.

The Guardian: "The head of Mahila Parishad, a women’s rights group, gave a guarded welcome to the quick investigation but said more needed to be done to end a “culture of impunity” over sexual harassment and rape cases. “Very few rape cases end in convictions,” she said.

I am always surprised by how many of my compatriots here are OK with the State killing people to show that it is wrong to kill people.

Also, putting them in prison for life, does insure that they would not do this again. If public executions did indeed prevent murder, then we would still have them. (We had them at one time) But they didn't. Murder continued. It still continues
for lots of reasons.

Nobody deserves to go that way, except for maybe the zealots who did this...
