Unnao Survivor Seeks Death Penalty
The woman who survived a rape case in Unnao, India, in 2017 is worried about her husband's safety.
She says people are taking videos from his social media and sharing them to identify and harm him.
She also thanked the Supreme Court for stopping a decision that would have let the man who hurt her, Kuldeep Singh Sengar, go free.
The Supreme Court said they will keep fighting for justice and asked people not to argue outside of court.
The survivor wants Sengar to get the death penalty.
The Supreme Court's decision is seen as preventing a miscarriage of justice based on technical grounds.
Unnao rape survivor claims her husband is being targeted through social media videos to identify and harm him.
She expressed frustration that no action has been taken against those sharing the videos.
The Supreme Court stayed the Delhi High Court's decision to suspend Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence.
The survivor thanked the Supreme Court for its intervention and vowed to continue her fight for justice.
She asserted that her legal battle will continue until Sengar is awarded the death penalty.
