Hundreds of people across India have protested against a recent government decision to free 11 men who had been jailed for life for gang raping a Muslim woman during devastating religious riots in 2002.

Protesters in the country’s capital, New Delhi, chanted slogans and called for the government in the western state of Gujarat to rescind the decision. They also sang songs in solidarity with the victim.
