Dozens of protesters gathered in Bangladesh's capital on Friday to demand justice for an 18-year-old woman who died after being set on fire for refusing to drop sexual harassment charges against her Islamic school's principal.

"We want justice. Our girls must grow up safely and with dignity," Alisha Pradhan, a model and actress, said.

Rafi told the story to her brother in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and he recorded her testimony on his mobile phone. She died four days later in a Dhaka hospital with burns covering 80% of her body. Tens of thousands of people attended Rafi's funeral prayers in Feni, and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina promised Rafi's family when they met in Dhaka that those responsible would be punished.

Police said the arrested suspects told them during interrogations that the attack on Rafi was planned and ordered by the school's principal from prison when his men went to see him. It was timed for daytime so that it would look like a suicide attempt, Majumder said.

3rd work rape culture

This is what the evil cult of Islam does. Ilhan Omar supports it as normal.

They behave worst than a wild animal in the jungle. Most time they want bother you unless you get in their space.

Among males fire and ire for sex knows no boundaries, Islam or not. I read in the Quran Muhammad (God's messenger) had more than a dozen wives (age 9 & up) and dozens of concubines he promised but did not marry. To single out Islam is not fair, because Christians do it too.

Muslim tradition ...sad

Run for your lives, ladies.

Should light all those involved on fire.

NeeNawtogirls I am disgusted to keep reading these reports coming from Pakistan,Bangladesh and India. Their actions towards girls and women is barbaric. Where is the world wide condemnation? Where are the protests from the Lovie Lefties?

There's something very wrong with a country that would allow something so heinous to be carried out. They're nothing but savages in my opinion.

IlhanMN we don't want this in America

islam isn't a religion of peace, it is a pretext for fascist behavior by the real patriarchy. When will Western Liberals/ Democrats / Progressives denounce this?

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! THIS IS DISGUSTING!!

Heresy!

Wow! My heart goes out to her family
