Guards sent to village of Pakistani rape victim

Police have been sent to Mukhtar Mai's village:

Thirty policemen have been sent to the village of a high-profile Pakistani rape victim after the release of four of the men acquitted of attacking her.

The four have returned to the village where the attack occurred and where Mukhtar Mai still lives, police said.

She was raped in 2002, allegedly on the orders of a tribal council to punish a crime attributed to her brother.

The Supreme Court ordered the release of the men on Tuesday, two weeks after another court upheld their appeals.

Wouldn't it have been easier to keep the rapists in jail where they belong?
