NL Conversation: Lawyer Sandhya Raju George on the dangers of the Franco Mulakkal judgement


Listen Later

Last week, former bishop Franco Mulakkal, accused of raping a nun in Kottayam 13 times, was acquitted by the Kottayam district court. The nun had alleged that despite her repeated complaints, the Catholic Church had ignored her. Five other nuns who spoke out in support of her faced retaliation from the church.


Sandhya Raju George is a lawyer who was on the panel of advocates representing the nuns in the case. In this conversation with Newslaundry’s Nidhi Suresh, she talks about the acquittal and judgement, and sexual harassment laws in India.


The conversation also spans judicial treatment of sexual assault survivors and the process of judicial trials in India. Tune in.
