nice life imprisonment arguably too harsh in this case

do you think swiss embassy may have wanted fast results?
Probably but I also think this case must be open and shut due to no interference by the political class.

Bcoz her physical condition wasn't that bad after the incident. I don't favor life term for each N every rape case.
Now this is "random". Minimum punishment for repeated rape is 10 years - I don't see this as harsh at all.

^ I am sure the judge must have heard both sides of the story and given his judgment. I believe we should just respect the ruling and be happy that the justice was efficient.

Agreed. Though respecting and not entirely agreeing with the harshness can both be there simultaneous ly

Range of punishment is there coz all crimes r not equal. What if they had past criminal record, used weapons etc in the mutilation apart from rape, left permanent damage on the victim. That would surely be worse that what they actually did.
