Those who are rapists are not human beings, they are even lower animals." We congratulate the Hon'ble Prime Minister of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh that he has already made rape the maximum penalty of death. Kudos to your Honorable Judiciary for already expeditiously disposing of the Bagerhat rape case and awarding death sentence to 5 accused in the Tangail rape case.”
