Exhuming the Truth

Fifteen-year-old Hena was raped and tortured by her rapist's relatives in a remote village in Shariatpur. A village tribunal imposed an edict to lash her 101 times for her 'crime'. Unable to bear the brutality, Hena succumbed to her injuries. A new court ruling, however, ordered for her body to be exhumed. A second autopsy has given clear evidence of the heinous crime committed against her.
