Nusrat Jahan Rafi: 16 charged in Bangladesh for burning girl alive

Warning: Very difficult to read, very awful human behavior.

If it wasn't at the BBC, I might not believe this.:

Sixteen people have been charged in Bangladesh over the shocking murder of a teenager who was burned to death after reporting sexual harassment.

Nusrat Jahan Rafi, 19, was doused with kerosene and set on fire on the roof of her Islamic school on 6 April, days after filing a complaint.

Headmaster Siraj Ud Doula, targeted in the complaint, is among those charged.

Police say he ordered her murder from prison when she refused to withdraw her accusations against him.

They described the preparations for the killing as being like a "military plan".

The case sparked mass protests in Bangladesh and shone a spotlight on the vulnerability of victims of sexual assault and harassment in the country.

The men, particularly. The way they treat girls and women is atrocious. That poor child suffered the indignity of being sexually harrassed by a group of animals and then they subjected her to one of the most painful ways to die.

If it were up to me, they would meet her same fate.
