This is what justice feels like, Bilkis Bano said after the Supreme Court, earlier in the day, overturned the Gujarat government’s decision to grant remission to 11 accused convicted of raping her and murdering seven members of her family during the 2002 riots in Gujarat.
“This is what justice feels like. I thank the honourable Supreme Court of India for giving me, my children and women everywhere this vindication and hope in the promise of equal justice for all," Bano said.
