5 Indians sentenced to life for raping Danish tourist
5 Indian men were sentenced to life in prison on Friday for raping a Danish tourist
New Delhi - Arab Today
Five Indians who raped a Danish tourist when she asked them for directions in New Delhi have been sentenced to life in prison for the attack that highlighted the plague of sexual violence in the country, the BBC reported.
Judge Ramesh Kumar announced the court's verdict Friday in the presence of all the convicts in the courtroom. They can appeal.
Police said the 51-year-old woman approached the five men, all vagabonds, to ask for directions back to her hotel near Connaught Place, a popular shopping area in the capital. They took her to a secluded spot and raped her repeatedly at knifepoint.
Violence against women in India has caused increasing alarm since the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old Indian physiotherapy student in New Delhi in 2012.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
