Amnesty International’s India chapter released a report highlighting the plight of gangrape survivors of the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots and the delay in the trial of these cases.
The report, titled ‘Losing Faith: The Muzaffarnagar gangrape survivors’ struggle for justice’, stated that the state government has failed to protect the women from threats and intimidation and has even failed to inform them about the status of their cases.
Speaking on the occasion, activist-lawyer Vrinda Grover, who represented the victims in the Supreme Court, said this is the first case where section 376 (2)(g) (rape during communal or sectarian violence) of the Indian Penal Code has been invoked in the FIR since the law was amended.
