INDIA-RAPE-PROTEST

Indian protesters burn an effigy of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as they take part in a protest rally in Siliguri on December 29, 2012, after the death of a gangrape victim from the Indian capital New Delhi. Indian leaders appealed for calm and security forces headed off fresh unrest by turning New Delhi into a fortress after a student who was savagely gang-raped died in a Singapore hospital. Police threw a ring of steel around the centre of the Indian capital after news of the 23-year-old medical student's death was broken in the early hours by the Singapore hospital that had been treating her for the last two days.
