Rape ‘punishment’ sparks protest in Kenya

Agency, The Independent - ‎Thursday‎, ‎31‎ ‎October‎ ‎2013
Hundreds of women took to the streets in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, in a protest march after a teenager was gang-raped and the punishment for the alleged perpetrators was mowing the lawn at a police station. 
The online activist group Avaaz said a 16-year-old, named only as Liz, was gang-raped in June and is now in a wheelchair.
More than 1.3 million people have signed an Avaaz petition calling for the prosecution of the alleged rapists, and an investigation of the police who freed the suspects.
