CHRONIC VIOLENCE. Medical students shout slogans and hold posters as they protest the rape and murder of a young medic from Kolkata, in Varanasi on Thursday. Indian doctors in government hospitals across several states halted elective services ‘indefinitely; to protest the rape and murder of the 31-year-old medic which sparked nationwide protests.
An autopsy confirmed sexual assault, and in a petition to the court, the victim’s parents said they suspected their daughter was gang-raped. “We ask for the understanding and support of the nation in this struggle for justice for its doctors and daughters,” IMA chief R.V. Asokan said, in a statement ahead of the strike.“The 36-hour duty shift that the victim was in and the lack of safe spaces to rest… warrant a thorough overhaul of the working and living conditions of the resident doctors,” IMA said in a statement.
