- In 2019, after a 17-year legal battle, it seemed like Bano had finally secured justice when the Supreme Court directed the Gujarat government to pay $71,000 to Bano as compensation, along with a job and accommodation of her choice.
- India’s Supreme Court on 9th January 2024 restored life prison sentences for 11 men who had raped a Muslim woman.
- But for now, Bano and her family are relieved. Bano’s uncle and a witness in her case, Abdul Razzak Mansuri, told Al Jazeera the top court quashing the remission was a step towards justice for her. “We are glad,” he said. “The Gujarat government released them [convicts] and it was very hurtful for us.”
