IMA, Delhi bar associations support DCW's 'Rape Roko' campaign
Delhi: The Indian Medical Association and the district court bar associations in Delhi today extended their support to the DCW's 'Rape Roko' campaign, launched after the brutal rape of an eight-month-old baby in January.Through the movement, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) is demanding the completion of trials of sexual crimes cases against women and children by fast-track courts within six months and death penalty to child rapists.
In a letter addressed to DCW chief Swati Maliwal, the IMA said: "We strongly support the people's movement 'Rape Roko' launched by DCW chief to demand a robust criminal justice system which ensures cases of sexual crimes against women and children are tried by fast-track courts within six months and rapists of children are essentially accorded death penalty as a strong deterrent for others against such crimes".
