Thousands on Sunday protested across more than 130 cities in 25 countries to demand justice for the trainee doctor who was raped and murdered last month at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9.
The demonstrations began in various groups throughout Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and Singapore before expanding to cities in several European countries, with sixty planned in the United States.
In Sweden's Stockholm, a large group of women assembled in Sergels Torg square to sing Bengali songs and hold signs demanding accountability for the crime and safety for Indian women.
Dipti Jain, a British citizen and alumni of the Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital who organized the global protest s told news agency Reuters, "The news of this heinous crime committed on a young trainee doctor while on duty numbed and shocked each of us at the sheer ruthlessness, brutality and disregard of human life." Last month, Jain had organized a protest for female doctors in the UK.
The Supreme Court will be hearing the case on Monday.
