US Woman Digitally Raped by an Indian Demands #NoBailForRapists

US woman assaulted in India rages against ‘bureaucratic apathy and judicial corruption’.

An American human rights and gender equality activist who was digitally raped by Rajeev Panwar, nephew of a former Delhi Mayor, Jayshree Panwar, took to social media on 30 July to rant against the apathy of the Indian judicial system.

She was digitally raped by Panwar while she was asleep in 2013. The man was convicted in February 2019 to seven years in jail. He was, however, freed on bail five months later.

“India’s incredible corruption and lack of support for women that are attacked is continuing. They refuse to help me, yet they say that they want to stop the violence against women in their own country. Yet a simple verification, like the one I received at the New York City at their consulate, I am being denied here in San Francisco. They want me to spend thousands of dollars to travel to the state of California on my own money because they have let a convicted criminal out on bail. We don’t give bail to convicted criminals.”

The survivor said in a video that she shared on social media.
