Reading Time: < 1 minute

Hundreds of Kenyans marched through Nairobi on October 31 to demand justice for a teenage girl who was allegedly gang raped in June, and the suspects ordered to cut grass as punishment.

The 16-year-old was allegedly dumped in a sewage ditch after the attack, local human rights groups said. She later identified three of six suspects, who cut grass at a police station and were freed afterward, according to the groups. Her body was broken by the attack, leaving her confined to a wheelchair. In addition to the spinal injury, she now suffers from an obstetric fistula.
