Kolkata rape-murder case: RG Kar Ex-Principal and Bengal Cop in CBI custody

Hundreds of people marched across France on Saturday (Sep 14) in solidarity with Gisele Pelicot, a woman whose husband is currently on trial on charges of drugging her and recruiting dozens of strangers to rape her for over&nbsp;a decade.&nbsp;

Feminist associations have called for nearly 30 gatherings in multiple cities across France, from Marseille to Paris. In the French capital, at the Place de la Republique dozens gathered with banners that read "Support to Gisele," "Shame Must Change Camp,” and “Victims We believe you”.

The case has shaken the whole nation since the matter came out earlier this month.&nbsp;

Pelicot, 72, has become a symbol of courage and resilience and of the fight against sexual violence.&nbsp;

The 71-year-old Dominique Pelicot has been accused of repeatedly raping and enlisting strangers to abuse his heavily intoxicated wife in their home over a decade.&nbsp;

Initially, he was due to testify this week but was excused due to his ill health. He is scheduled to testify on Monday (Sep 16).&nbsp;

Rich, democratic countries in the global north are using harsh and vague measures, aiming to silence the climate protests in the world, however, at the same time, they are slamming similar draconian practices by authorities in the global south, according to a report.&nbsp;

A Climate Rights International report revealed the increasingly heavy-handed treatment of climate activists in Australia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and the US.&nbsp;

The measures also include lengthy prison sentences, preventive detention, and harassment. These crackdowns are a violation of the government's legal responsibility to protect basic rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association.&nbsp;

Further, it also sheds light on how these same governments frequently criticise regimes in developing countries for not respecting the right to protest peacefully.&nbsp;

Brad Adams, director at Climate Rights International, said, "Governments too often take such a strong and principled view about the right to peaceful protest in other countries, but when they don’t like certain kinds of protests at home they pass laws and deploy the police to stop them."&nbsp;

The&nbsp;Supreme Court of India&nbsp;said on Monday (Sep 2) that the&nbsp;farmers' protest must not be politicised and constituted a high-powered committee to look into the issues of the agitating farmers at the Shambhu border near Ambala, where they have been camping since February 13.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan said that the five-member committee will be headed by Justice Nawab Singh, a former judge of&nbsp;Punjab and Haryana High Court, and directed the committee to convene its first meeting with farmers within a week.

The top court asked the committee to reach out to and request the agitating farmers to remove their tractors and trolleys from the&nbsp;Shambhu border on the National Highway so as to provide relief to the general public.

The apex court said that there is a sizeable population of agricultural communities in the two states that belong to marginalised communities and live below the poverty line and deserve empathy.

"The high-powered committee should reach out to and request the agitating farmers to remove their tractors. We hope the farmers will listen to the committee and vacate their vehicles from the border to provide huge relief to the general public," said the bench.

The apex court said that protesters can shift their agitation to an alternate site.

It further asked the Chief Secretaries and DGP of both states to help the committee and consult the Chairperson for the needful.

Earlier, the top court had asked both the states to submit a list of names of persons who could be included in the committee to hold negotiations with the protesters and the governments.

The SC&nbsp;was hearing an appeal against the July 10&nbsp;Punjab and Haryana High Court order by which it had directed it to open the highway and clear the barricading within seven days.

In February, the Haryana government had set up barricades on the Ambala-New Delhi national highway after farmers' bodies announced that farmers would march to Delhi in support of various demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops.&nbsp;
