As India continues to question authorities over the horrific rape and murder case at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital, widespread protests demanding justice and showing solidarity over the horrific rape and murder case of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar Hospital are not only erupting on the streets of the country but also across the world. The Indian diaspora across the world has echoed their cry for justice, with protests taking place in countries like Canada, Germany and the United States.

In Essen, Germany, the Indian community organised a protest to express solidarity with the victims. Protesters were seen holding placards and singing songs of unity.
“I am here today to demand safety for my friends in India, especially after dark,” said one participant, while another woman held a sign reading: “We demand justice.”
Another organizer said: “We have young daughters and drastic measures are needed so that our daughters can go out freely.”
“It is important to educate our children better, to make them better human beings so that they do not harm anyone,” added another protester.
The protesters collectively demanded punishment for the criminals and urged people to go beyond politics in this case.
In Munich, Bengalis demonstrated despite heavy rain. People gathered to hold a vigil, with candles in their hands and songs on their lips.
