How India treats women
Five men have pleaded not guilty to the rape and murder of a female student
in a Delhi bus in December, one of the men's lawyers has said.
The men signed statements to say they were innocent after being formally cha
rged in a fast-track court.
The court will begin hearing evidence from witnesses on Tuesday.
The brutal gang-rape caused outrage across the country, sparking nationwide
protests and calls for the death penalty for rapists.
A sixth suspect is to be tried in a juvenile court.
Prosecutors are expected to call three witnesses at the start of the trial.
They say they have strong evidence against the five, including DNA and phone
records.
On Friday, India's cabinet approved most of the recommendations of a commiss
ion set up to review sex crime laws after the case came to light.
Widespread anger
The 23-year-old woman, who cannot be named in India for legal reasons, was a
ttacked after boarding a bus in south Delhi with a male friend.
Police said the assailants beat both of them, and then raped the woman. She
suffered massive internal injuries and died nearly two weeks later.
The deadly attack triggered widespread anger about the treatment of women in
India.
A commission under ex-chief justice JS Verma was appointed to examine the co
untry's laws on sex crimes, issuing its report on 23 January.
Ministers approved many of the recommendations on Friday, paving the way for
raising the penalty for gang rape to life.
But they went beyond the panel's recommendations and suggested the death sen
tence in rape cases where the victim dies or slips into a coma. | c*****g
