Pakistan court orders re-arrests in gang-rape case
28/06/2005 - 10:37:06Pakistan’s Supreme Court today overturned the acquittals of 13 suspects in a high-profile gang-rape case and ordered them to be re-arrested.
The ruling came a day after the victim, Mukhtar Mai, appealed the acquittals in a dramatic appearance at the Islamabad court.
The decision cast aside a series of conflicting rulings by several lower courts that had drawn international condemnation.
