Hundreds of protesters in Kenya have handed over a petition to police demanding justice for a teenager who was gang-raped, the British Broadcasting Corporation reports.
The 16-year-old was gang-raped and then thrown in a pit latrine breaking her back.
The three men accused of gang-raping her were ordered by police to cut grass as punishment.
The petition signed by 1.2 million people calls for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the alleged rapists.
BBC reports that 300 people walked from Uhuru Park in the capital, Nairobi, to the police headquarters to hand over the petition, which was carried in cardboard boxes.
David Kimaiyo, the inspector general of police, was not present to receive it, but sent a representative on his behalf, she says.
The girl, referred to as Liz to protect her identity, was attacked and repeatedly raped after returning from a grandfather's funeral in the village of Busia in western Kenya.
Her unconscious body was thrown into a pit latrine and she is now in a wheelchair.
When she was rescued she said she had been attacked by a gang of six men, but she could only identify three of them.
They were then detained by villagers and taken to the police, who chose not to officially prosecute them.
Instead they ordered them to cut grass around a police station in Busia, near Lake Victoria.
This spurred some journalists and activists to use social media to raise awareness of the case, using the hashtag #Justice4Liz.
Of course, in this kind of bitter situations, Justice must prevail!
