India bans broadcast of gang-rapist documentary

Indian activists take part in a vigil to mark the second anniversary of the fatal gang-rape of a student in New Delhi on December 16, 2014 An Indian court has banned the country's media from broadcasting a documentary in which one of the men who gang-raped and murdered a New Delhi student is shown blaming the victim, police said Wednesday. Spokesman Rajan Bhagat said New Delhi police had obtained a court order late Tuesday banning anyone from broadcasting the documentary, called "India's Daughter", on grounds of "objectionable content". "It shows a very objectionable interview with the convicted rapist." Mukesh Singh, one of five men convicted over the 2012 attack in New Delhi, told British film-maker Leslee Udwin from his prison cell that the murdered student should not have been out at night, and blamed her for fighting back against her attackers. "My heart is broken with this court order," she told AFP by telephone.
