3:31 pm
well. it's good to have you're with us we're beginning with. last sunday that's the first day of the. one thousand nine hundred would never see those celebrations because. four days before. he was set ablaze. for sexual harassment. he ordered some students and others to force her to withdraw the case she had lodged at the local station. and she paid for it with her life police say she was tied up with the staff on the roof . and then set on fire she received eighty percent. her face escaped the ordeal
3:32 pm
but before she died she managed to record a statement on her brother's phone she said the teacher touched me i've been fight this crime to my last breath. died in hospital on the tenth of your four for more i'm joined by human rights lawyer saddam hussein from. saddam it's good to have you join us as we understand the police have arrested the alleged attackers in this case but what is the reaction be unbundled bish to this crime. well it's really ignited a massive response i think and call to the nation from across the board in addition to the arrests there's been you know this in continuous media coverage continues response and protests all over the country. and i think it's not just to rest of the people some of those who've been accused it's interesting to see that action has had to be taken against a police officer albeit very mild action i should say what the police officer and
3:33 pm
the local police station was sharing video content about this and the adverse comments that it also made about. and there was action taken against him to remove him from that station unfortunate as far as you know anything for that but that's the kind of response we're seeing and i think some of that is you know because of the brutal nature of it didn't it woman who had the courage and strength to demand justice for serial sexual harassment she faced from principle then had to face a brutal much just simply for that act and not to not mention was a woman who was studying in the mattress you know very traditional conservative education institution. she was seeking justice for god. by nations allegedly committed by a man who's already protected all of those things i think could be part of the
3:34 pm
reason for this reaction what protection to women in. all of the crime of sexual harassment. women don't get much protection in this situation there are no us and there's not a meet by parliament but there is a supreme court directive we should all taken private education institutions to take stringent measures to both prevent and punish that she writes and but unfortunately the vast majority of institutions haven't taken yet action on this and the government has taken no systematic actually to money so that i don't take action against those who seem to take steps and the really critical point is i think as you mentioned that women who seek protection against sexual violence have no protection themselves against threats and reprisals by offend as many who act actually with complicity of the law enforcement agencies to take out threats against women to seek justice but why is this continuing why is does this climate.
3:35 pm
continue to prosper why do people keep committing these crimes. they said these crimes have been going on for many years people have been demanding justice for many not this years for decades now and i think the reason that they continue is because there's such impunity for defend there's a great deal of noise made by parties by how they would impose the case by nation to carry out to action but the systematic changes that they need to make to show faith try and shore justice for victims to ensure protections and most importantly to break the cycle of impunity that is and is enjoying get protection around it and the party and to enforce the agencies that's what we do and actually this election that's we will i think and i think we don't see dramatic change in that war.
