A court in India has sentenced three convicted rapists to death by hanging under a new law that seeks to crack down on attacks on women in the country.
According to Al-Jazeera, "The men are the first to be tried and convicted under a recently revised law that carries the death penalty for those convicted of multiple sexual assaults."
The news agency says:
"The anti-rape law is aimed at repeat sexual offenders and puts in place a host of new provisions and punishments, including criminalizing stalking, voyeurism and acid attacks.
"It stipulates the death penalty for repeat offenders and those whose victims are left in a vegetative state."
