Amidst concerns over the safety of victims in the alleged multiple instances of sexual abuse by “absconding” Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, a meeting of women activists, advocates, writers from the civil society demanded that the State government should provide security to all victims, not just those who complain.
They also demanded that the State government appeal against the special court’s order granting bail to senior JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna, who is accused of abducting one of the victims, to allegedly prevent her from testifying against his son.
The Akhila Bharatha Janawadi Mahila Sanghatane had organised a meeting on Thursday evening, which saw the State’s gender and sexual minority union, Dalit, farmer, labour, lawyer, employee and student organisations participate. It was also decided in the meeting to organise a rally in Hassan on May 30 to reach out to all those who have been afflicted by the cases in the district.
