13 people were convicted today in connection with their part in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
A policeman was found to be among the guilty in the convicted handful of men who participated in the mass killing of 1000-2000 of Gujarat's Muslims.
Bilkis Bano, a 29 year old gang rape victim was a key witness in the trial. Her family members were massacred in the Dahod District of Gujarat where they were trying to flee a riot. She only managed to survive when the attackers assumed her dead. She was seven months pregnant at the time.
The sentences will be dished out on Monday where prosecutors have been calling for the death penalty.
This has been the second Gujarat riot case to be moved to Mumbai for a fair trial.
Justice?
