An Indian court Sept. 13 sentenced to death four men for the gang rape and murder of a young New Delhi woman, in a case that became a symbol of the widespread mistreatment of women in India and the government's inability to deal with crime.

Issuing his decision, Judge Yogesh Khanna said the attack "shocked the collective conscience" of India. "In these times, when crime against women is on the rise, the courts cannot turn a blind eye toward such gruesome crimes." (AP)
