Protests began in France in support of a woman who was raped for over 10 years.
In support of Giselle Pelico, a woman who was raped by more than 80 men, protests took place across France. Her husband, who confessed, is being tried along with 50 other men. Giselle Pelico showed courage by agreeing to a public trial. The arrested criminals are from various professions, including politicians, journalists, and civil servants.
The truth about Dominique Pelico became known when he was arrested for filming women's skirts in a supermarket. The investigation revealed thousands of images and films where Giselle Pelico was raped up to 100 times. Feminist groups organized protests in various cities, expressing support for victims of violence.
The trial, which will last several months, was interrupted due to Dominique Pelico's illness. He is due to appear in court again on Monday.
Protests against the leniency of rapist's punishment
The Federal Court of Switzerland was considering a rape case in which it was decided to reduce the rapist's punishment due to the short duration of the violence - 11 minutes. This sparked protests in several cities where people held their hands raised in firm silence for 11 minutes, symbolizing the duration of the rape.
The lawyers of a 14-year-old girl who was a victim of gang rape in Transcarpathia also point to the delay in the trial process. Recently in Moscow, a propaganda media employee was raped by three men.
