Kolkata rape: India doctors defy court order to continue strike

Junior doctors in India’s Kolkata are defying a court order to continue protests against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a state-run hospital in the city.

The discovery of the body of the 31-year-old woman on 9 August had sparked nationwide outrage.

A hospital volunteer was arrested for the crime, which is now being investigated by a federal agency.

While protests have died down in other parts of India, doctors in Kolkata say they will hold firm until their demands are met.

Protesters have set up camp outside the state’s health department headquarters, voicing five key demands: justice for the victim, the removal of senior police officials, and enhanced security for health workers, among them.

I know it’s probably anecdotal, but I feel like I have always seen a ridiculous amount of rape news from India.

I guess when you get tired of writing stories about school shootings, rapes, and murders in your own country, you can always… actually I have no fucking idea…

Maybe they just want you to “know” that brown people are bad?

You’re right. It could be bias that only those stories make it over here often. For sure America has its own issues with endless shootings stories or police violence.

That is how you strike. Until you get what you want. No stopping because daddy government said so.
