Oksana Makar was gang-raped by three guys & then she was dumped in a ditch & set on fire. In order to keep her alive, the medic had to amputate one of her arms and both her feet. However, after two weeks, she died of severe burns & damage to her lungs.
Her mother made a video clip in which Oksana describes her horrific ordeal. Her mom has been criticized for making the video as the girl was very upset. I’m sure it must have been painful for the girl & the mother but how else people will get to know the story? It’s just too annoying that people never get sick & tired of finding faults.
Although there was a nationwide protest against this rape case but two of the suspects were released as they have powerful connections. They are sons of sons of former government officials & that makes much above law.
In fact Women's rights group Femen protest naked outside the state prosecutor's office in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev to demand tough punishment for these three men accused of raping and setting alight Oskana.
When questioned as to what punishment her attackers should receive after the March 9 attack, the teen replies their testicles should be cut off and fed to dogs.
Oksana Maker was just 18 year old & she’s dead. While she was alive, 2 of the culprits were released. Fine. There was hue & cry all over Ukraine. Anyhow, the demonstrations led Ukrainian President Yanukovych to order the general prosecutor to oversee the case and on March 13 the two men were re-arrested and all three suspects were charged with attempted murder. I just hope they rot in jail.
Lately I have read too many cases of rape & acid attacks. Victims either commit suicide or they die in vain. Culprits do not even land in jail, cause most of them are from influential & powerful families. At least in this case, they have been re-arrested & charged with attempted murder.
