Worldwide protests held over Indian trainee medic's rape and death
Thousands of individuals from the indian community protested in over 130 cities across 25 countries on sunday to demand justice for a trainee doctor raped and murdered at RG kaur medical college in kolkata
The protests started in large and small groups across Japan, Australia, Taiwan and Singapore, before spreading to cities in several European countries. Sixty were planned in the U.S.
At one of the protests in the Swedish capital Stockholm, scores of mainly black-clad women gathered in Sergels Torg square to sing songs in Bengali and hold signs, demanding accountability for the crime and safety for Indian women.
''The news of this crime committed on a young trainee doctor while on duty numbed and shocked each of us at the sheer ruthlessness, brutality and disregard of human life," said Dipti Jain, an organiser of the global protests.
Jain, now a British citizen and alumni of the Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, had last month organised a female doctors protest in the UK.
A suspect has been arrested along with the former principal of RG Kar Medical College where the doctor was studying.
