Rights Activist Bridles at Amended Rape Law
A new law unveiled on Tuesday no longer considers the forced insertion of an object into the anus, mouth or genitals as rape.
The latest amendment to the Penal Codes strictly defines rape as an assault that involves the asssailant’s genitals – a change called a step backwards by a prominent women’s rights activist. The amended law also imposes a harsher jail term for filming rape.
