Desi Cartman Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 ^ thats what happens when press tries to be PC. Its free press, show what is legally allowed and STFU. If you dont want to show something then just dont, simple
Desi Cartman Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 They set some rules for certain stories and couldnt apply the same rules to other stories, that was my point. Now had they not gone public about what made them do a story or not do a story then it would have been fine. Once you set a policy, you must stick to it.
Tiger80 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 It means that more crimes are being reported and more convictions. In India only a fraction of cases are reported. How do you know that there is no under reporting of rapes in Philipines?
G_B_ Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 On NDTV they are saying that Mr Singh (the rapist) might escape the death penalty as his appeals process has been compromised. Dont know how true this is, but he this guy manages to get off the noose, then the documentary maker really needs to hang her head in shame. How can you not weight the legal consequences? At the very least wait for the legal process to finish.
zep1706 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I watched the documentary. There is nothing in it that "damages India's image" which has not been damaged so far. Stupid decision to ban it. If anything it damages India's image even more.

zep1706 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 and what about the legal reasons i just mentioned? What legal reasons? The govt is just acting stupid. BBC did not broadcast it in India. Indian laws don't apply in the U.K. The government is really making a fool of itself. They should not have banned it in the first place. Can you explain to me why it was banned?
zep1706 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 That is my biggest problem.By naming her and then showing her photograph and then revealing in details what they did with her is againist Indian law and British law as well. UK revels in denigrating its old colonies and live in a superiority complex.This is a result of that. If her parents are OK with revealing her name then where is the problem?

zep1706 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 read the posts i made and the legal reasons have been explained. I don't have time to go through the whole thread. Please link your post.
G_B_ Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 If her parents are OK with revealing her name then where is the problem? the law is the law.. you cannot selectively pick and choose. As i have mentioned before the rapist can use the technicality of trial by media to avoid the hangman's noose.

G_B_ Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 "Despite clearly telling them not to make the name and photo of our daughter public, they have gone ahead with it and this is not right.. we will take legal action against this", the father of the victim told PTI . http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/December-16-gang-rape-victims-father-objects-to-daughters-name-being-made-public/articleshow/46465936.cms

He is changing his tune now, perhaps under political pressure.
G_B_ Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Do you really think that the SC would base its judgement on a documentary? How has his appeal process been compromised by this documentary? but why not wait? Is there something stopping you from waiting?
