An Indian court has convicted four men over the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a moving bus in New Delhi last December.
Sentences for the men, who face the possibility of hanging, are expected to be handed down on Wednesday.
The brutal attack set off waves of protest in India, giving voice to years of anger over the treatment of women and a silent epidemic of sexual harassment and rape.
The men, along with another suspect who hanged himself in prison and a juvenile who was convicted in August, were riding through the city on an off-duty bus in December when they tricked the 23-year-old woman and a male friend into boarding.
They beat the woman’s friend into submission, then held her down and repeatedly raped her. She also suffered severe internal injuries that led to her death two weeks later.
As a rape victim, the woman cannot be identified under Indian law. The parents of the rape victim had tears in their eyes as the verdicts were read out.
