in Chennai, India, a group of over 20 men spent over 7 months repeatedly drugging, raping, and beating an 11 year old girl. They recorded it on their cell phones and threatened to share the videos if she told on them.

When her sister finally reported the abuse, 17 of the men were arrested and taken into custody.

When they were brought to court, the lawyers from the local legal association refused to defend them, and instead, attacked the men, beating them to the ground in the courthouse.
