This is what justice feels like, smiling for the first time in over 18 months, says Bilkis
Bilkis Bano wept tears of relief, hugged her children and admittedly smiled for the first time in over 18 months on Monday, describing the Supreme Court's verdict quashing the early release of the 11 convicts who gang-raped her and killed 14 of her family members in 2002 as the dawn of a "true New Year for me". "I thank the honourable Supreme Court of India for giving me, my children and women everywhere vindication and hope in the promise of equal justice for all," Bilkis said in a statement released through her lawyer, Shobha Gupta.
