Bilkis Bano’s courage must be saluted. Despite facing unspeakable horrific crimes, she placed faith in justice and fought the long battle. All sorts of dirty manipulative tricks were played to derail her pursuit of justice. Yet, she emerged victorious as a lone warrior.

Rapists and murderers belong in jail!
More power to Bilkis Bano & the people who stood by her in this fight.
Shame on the Gujarat govt that lied, abused its powers to let convicted rapists & murderers out of jail.
Shame that a govt sides with criminals & not survivors. https://t.co/UlK0HFpwpI
