Delhi gang-rape victim dies in hospital in Singapore

BBC News: The 23-year-old woman gang-raped on a bus in India’s capital Delhi has died at a Singapore hospital, doctors say.

“The patient passed away peacefully at 4:45am on 29 Dec 2012,” a statement from the hospital said. The patient’s family had been by her side, it added.

The 23-year-old had arrived in Singapore on Thursday after undergoing three operations in a Delhi hospital.

Follow updates on the story at Breaking News.

As we pointed out last week, the incident, which was widely-reported, led to mass protests in New Delhi, leading to calls for calm by the Indian government. This latest development is quite sad and worth keeping a close eye on.

Tears. Rest in power, sweetheart.

This is a tragic end to such a horrific experience. I had earlier read an article where this woman was telling doctors how badly she wanted to live - I hope her murderers are brought to justice for robbing her of that.

grrrlvirus: kittencreamery: sullen-alien: clementinecannibal: for anyone who thinks female armpit hair is ‘no big deal’ these days, for those who question my insistence that my armpit hair on my femme body is a genderqueer expression that has been targeted for violence time and again, check out this comment on my youtube. why is female hair so offensive? how is it any different from male hair? this shit is ridiculous. I can’t even fathom how someone like him can use a computer.  this shit is all too painfully real.trigger warning. when i was nineteen i went to a local show with my sister. i was dancing around and acting crazy, and i was the only grrrl doing so. i was wearing a tanktop. the singer in the band said into the mic “the girl with the red hair (me) really needs to shave her fucking armpits”. people were laughing at me. people were throwing shit at me. i was giving these people the finger and raising my arm, showing off the hair. then a guy punched me in the face, knocking my glasses off. i tried to hit him back but another guy caught my arm and restrained me. i was pushed, shoved and hit by a group of guys. my shirt was pulled down during all of this. my sister’s arms were restrained. i was dragged out on my back by my pigtails, down some stairs and my head was smashed into a pole along the way. it was fucked up and very, very traumatizing. nothing like that had ever happened to me before. after that people would pass the store i worked at in the mall and shout ‘shave your armpits!’ at me while i was working.

[trigger warning, although i guess that doesn’t do much when the image is blaring right there, eh?] Even as a pun, it is still a bad and tasteless [oh, there we go] pun. It turns rape into yet another joke, something to laugh off, something to not take seriously. It turns a horrifyingly traumatic and violent experience into, welll, a fruit cartoon.
