India: Tourist receives 11,000 euros in compensation after alleged gang rape. Several men are said to have raped a Spanish-Brazilian tourist.
A court is expected to hear the case this week, probably also because there are fears of impacts on tourism. In India – the world's most populous country with 1.4 billion inhabitants – an average of 86 women and girls are raped every day, according to official figures. There are also other victims who never go to the police. Many cases remain lying around for years and convictions are rare.
