Remember the Gang rape victim I talked about on 21st December,(Search previous post).
Reports have it that the Indian medical student whose gang rape triggered mass protests calling for better protection for women against sexual violence has died.
The 23-year-old – who was severely beaten, raped and thrown out of a moving bus in Delhi – died on Friday in the Singapore hospital where she was being treated.
Her family had been keeping a bedside vigil after she suffered severe organ failure following the attack on 16 December. She was flown to Singapore from India two days ago as her condition worsened.
"We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45am on 29 December, 2012 [4.45pm GMT Friday]. Her family and officials from the High Commission of India were by her side," Kelvin Loh, chief executive of the Mount Elizabeth hospital, said in a statement.
My heart goes to her family.May her soul rest in perfect peace amen.
