Twelve men jailed for mass rape in India

BBC News:

An Indian court has sentenced five men to life imprisonment and imposed 23 year jail terms to seven others after a mass rape four years ago.

The men were found guilty of raping 15 women in a remote village in the western state of Maharashtra. Two others were acquitted.

The court said the men jailed for life should not be granted bail and should remain in prison until they die.

In India, life imprisonment is generally equivalent to 14 years.
