Three Kenyan men sentenced to death for stripping woman
Three Kenyan men who stripped and
attacked a woman in a bus have been sentenced to death by a magistrate
in the capital, Nairobi.
The death sentence was imposed after the three were convicted of robbery with violence.
A further 25-year sentence for stripping the woman was suspended due to the death penalty.
The incident was recorded and shared widely on social media three years ago, sparking nationwide protests.
Hundreds of women, some in tight fitting clothes, marched through Nairobi, rallied by the hash tag #MyDressMyChoice.
Chief magistrate Francis Andayi said that those convicted had taken
part in a "senseless and uncouth attack that they seemed to enjoy
because they were cheering as they stripped the woman", the privately
owned Daily Nation newspaper reports.
This episode was part of a wave of sexual assaults in Nairobi during 2014.
