Last week, in New Delhi, India, news stories of a horrific gang
rape spread quickly, igniting widespread outrage. A 23 year old woman
was attacked by six men on a moving bus and brutalized for 45 minutes,
in the most recent and alarming of several high-profile incidents.
Protesters have taken to the streets to demonstrate against the growing
incidence of rape, and its slow and ineffective prosecution. Riot police
have responded, dispersing crowds with forceful tactics including water
cannons, batons, and tear gas. India's government has now ordered a
special inquiry into the incident to identify any negligence or errors
on the part of police. [26 photos]
