Do you remember the case reported by media two years ago of a nun who was forced to parade half naked and gang-raped by Hindu fundamentalist in Orissa India?
The High Court of Orissa decided to move an infamous case from a court in Phulbani, Kandhamal District, Orissa to the city of Cuttack. The transfer decision, given on March 30, 2010, has rekindled dwindling hope for justice for all victims of the unprecedented anti-Christian riots in 2008.
One of the lead lawyers in the case, Ms. Lansinglu Rongmei, said, "The best part is that the court instructed that all the witnesses who turned hostile should be recalled. This means the trial will essentially get a fresh start." Rongmei has a private practice based in Delhi but has also served as the National Legal Secretary for the All India Christian Council (aicc) since October 2008.
Let us hope and pray that those who committed the crime may be held accountable so that this can serve to the re-establishment of just relationship in that reagion.
