印度某局长“享受强奸”言论遭谴责 Indias top police official was under fire Wednesday for saying, If you cant prevent rape, you might as well enjoy it. 印度中央调查局局长兰吉特·辛哈12日称：“如果你无法阻止强奸的发生，不妨去享受它。”此言一出，便招致了全国上下的愤怒和谴责。 ? Central Bureau of Investigation chief Ranjit Sinha made the comment Tuesday during a conference about illegal sports betting and the need to legalize gambling. The CBI, the countrys premier investigative agency, is Indias equivalent of the FBI. ? Sinha said that if the state could not stop gambling it could at least make some revenue by legalizing it. His remarks about rape were in this context. ? The remarks have caused outrage across India, which in the past year has been roiled by widespread protests following the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a bus in New Delhi. ? Sinha said Wednesday that his comments were taken out of context and were misinterpreted, but angry activists called for his resignation. ? Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Brinda Karat said Sinhas comments were offensive to women everywhere. ? It is sickening that a man who is in charge of several rape investigations should use such an analogy, Karat told reporters. He should be prosecuted for degrading and insulting women. ? The New Delhi attack on the young woman last December caused nationwide outrage and forced the government to change rape laws and create fast-track courts for rape cases. New laws introduced after the attack make stalking, voyeurism and sexual harassment a crime. They also provide for the death penalty for repeat offenders or for rape attacks that lead to the victims death.
