Demonstrators hold candles during a candlelight vigil for a gang rape victim who was assaulted in New Delhi Dec 30, 2012. The body of a woman whose gang rape provoked protests and rare national debate about violence against women in India arrived back in New Delhi early on Sunday and was quickly cremated at a private ceremony. The unidentified 23-year-old medical student died from her injuries on Saturday, prompting promises of action from a government that has struggled to respond to public outrage. She had suffered brain injuries and massive internal injuries in the attack on Dec 16, and died in hospital in Singapore where she had been taken for treatment.[Photo/Agencies]
