BBC:China protests citizen's rape in India
8 February 2013 Last updated at 07:26 GMT

China has lodged a strong protest with the Indian authorities after a Chinese woman was raped in Delhi recently.

Beijing has also asked Delhi to protect "the security, legal rights and privacy of the victim" and punish the accused.

An Indian man has been arrested and remanded in custody, police say. The foreign ministry said "local officials are handling the issue".

There has been outrage in India after the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a Delhi bus in December.

The 23-year-old Chinese woman was raped on 30 January, but she did not file a police complaint until earlier this week, reports said.

She had met the accused at a party in the city not long ago, they said.

The Chinese embassy in Delhi has warned its citizens, especially women, to be alert at all times and avoid going out alone in Delhi, China's official news agency Xinhua reported.

There was widespread anger and condemnation in India after a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was gang raped and brutally assaulted by six men on a bus. She died of her injuries later.

For weeks, thousands of people held protests around the country demanding quicker trials and harsher punishments, including the death penalty, for rapists.

Five men are being tried in a fast-track court for the crime. A sixth suspect is a minor and will be tried in a separate juvenile court.

Protests won't change a culture, that's it!

 

[KRAIT]

Another shameful incident. I hate this Delhi govt. They provide security to VIPs but not for women.

 

[Cherokee]

Protests won't change a culture, that's it!

So you mean to say people who are protesting are from Mars ?

 

[timetravel]

In this case the girl knew the guy. She WILLFULLY went with the guy to some house. Now how could delhi govt protect this girl. I think the girl made wrong judgement in trusting a wrong guy.

The guy obviously should be punished for his crime. But at least govt couldn't have done anything to protect the girl from rape in this case.

Chinese should beat Indian ambassador and parade him naked, otherwise these Indian politicians and people in GOI are not going to pay attention to any of these protests and rapes in India will go as it is.

 

[PlanetWarrior]

Castration or hanging. The accused if found guilty should be given a choice

 

[newdelhinsa]

Even a South Korean women was raped in by hotel owner after dosed with a cold drink.

 

[Viet]

[Ganges Zephyr]

I wish for max punishment for the sick rapist. But what Govt could have done in this particular case?? The girl compromised her own security by being drunk and going around with someone she didnt know well and met only a few days back.

[Punjabbi Munda]

Until and unless the laws are improved,nothing's gonna change,there has to be compulsory death penalty if the rape is confirmed,only way to solve this problem.

The girl was an employee at a Gurgaon company and knew the accused,so can't blame the police/government.But the laws!
