Wenxin views the world, and the world gathers Wenxin. Hello everyone, welcome to Wenxin's channel
This is the remark of a certain celebrity, I don't know if you agree?
But what about the real situation? A pair of influencers from Spain have traveled the world on motorcycles, covering more than 60 countries. Went to sixty countries and did nothing. But in March of this year, the couple encountered a disaster on Indian soil that no one expected.
The violent gang rape that shocked the world took place, and the wife of the Spanish couple was brutally assaulted by seven thugs during a trip to India, and it is especially outrageous that the husband was forced to witness the whole process of the violence
Reparations Disputes: The Balance Between Money and Justice
I won't go into detail about what happened in the early stage, there are too many people on the Internet. When the experience of the Internet celebrity couple sparked a strong reaction in the international community, Indian officials were quickly pushed to the forefront of public opinion. The Indian government had to respond amid the condemnation by announcing an in-depth investigation into the case and providing compensation to the victims. But when people learned that three of the seven criminals were arrested, the compensation amount was only 11,000 euros (equivalent to about 85,000 yuan)
This compensation is undoubtedly insignificant in terms of the physical and psychological trauma endured by the victims, not to mention that it symbolically attempts to "solve" such a serious violent crime.
The public and the media have questioned how such a serious criminal offence could be settled in the form of compensation, which is not only a secondary injury to the victim, but also raises serious doubts about the impartiality of the Indian justice system. The so-called "positive comments" that the victims were forced to publish, widely seen as exposing the Indian government's public relations tactics, have further fueled anger over the abuse of power and the cover-up of the truth.
The wife of the abusive couple expressed her indignation by posting a video: "It's a shame! Indians treat foreigners the same way they treat women in their own country." Such a corrupt society is really disgusting!" Because the couple has a large number of fans, the matter quickly became a hot topic in the international news. Instead of dealing with the criminals the fastest, the Indian police forcibly demanded that they delete the video under the pretext of obstructing the investigation. This is really an unexpected operation!
The "second reversal" couple finally dared to tell the truth after leaving India
But when the couple left India, the second reversal came, and they decided to use the power of the Internet, so they carefully produced a documentary, which not only recorded the unbearable experience in detail, but also with English, Chinese and Spanish subtitles, crossing the language barrier, allowing the world to witness their suffering and struggle.
In the video, the couple uses their own experiences to expose the fragility of law and order in remote parts of India and the obstacles faced by victims in their quest for justice.
Here's a quote from the Spanish couple's documentary:
On the route, you will pass through some small towns, some of which don't seem so friendly. Rather than travel overnight, the couple decided to set up a tent for the night, thinking that it would be okay to set off the next day. But they didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary decision would make them regret it.
I have to admit that my wife's body is very hot, and she is even more unrestrained outdoors. Just as she began to boil the oil, she didn't know that a pair of eyes in the dense forest had been watching her, and she was swallowing saliva from time to time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the husband and wife, who were resting in the tent, heard someone talking outside in dialect, and the husband went out to check and found that only two locals were standing outside the tent and talking on the phone. But they are negligent, and they are actually gathering their companions.
Half an hour later, several strong men on motorcycles came galloping up and shouted "Hello friends" to the couple in the tent. Wearing a headlamp, the husband came out of the tent to check on the situation and communicate with them. After all, people are Internet celebrities who are used to being watched, so until this moment, they still don't realize what danger there is, and they don't think of defending themselves.
As soon as her husband Vincent said a few words, he was besieged by three men in front and back. In an instant, he was controlled by these thugs, and not only were his arms tied, but even his teeth were knocked out. The thugs pulled out a knife and put it around his neck and warned him not to move or resist, or they would kill him.
The rest of the men forcibly forced his wife into obedience, dragged her away, pushed her down, and tore at her clothes with several hands, and were punched and kicked at the slightest resistance. After her clothes were stripped naked, seven strong men took turns to inflict bestiality on her, and the two-and-a-half-hour-long assault and torture ended. During this period, in order to increase the excitement, the gangsters also forced her husband Vincent to witness the whole process, and if he closed his eyes, he would be severely beaten.
After the incident, in a burst of ridicule, the gangsters left satisfied, and also snatched the valuables of the Internet celebrity couple.
The police claimed on the news that they had been given the best quality wards, but the reality was that the windows were broken, the beds were tattered, and the rooms were full of mosquitoes, so there was no way for people to recuperate. Because the evidence had to be kept to convict the gangsters, neither husband nor wife dared to take a bath. The wife was worried that taking a shower would wash away the DNA material left behind by the gangsters when they violated her, so she survived the night with a fishy smell and stickiness...... The next day, she drove 80 kilometers to a major city hospital 80 kilometers away with biological evidence that had liquefied and dried up, showing mottled marks, before cleaning herself and hugging and crying in the bathroom.
Husband was beaten
After the release of the documentary, netizens poured in torrential support, and many international media began to re-examine and report on the incident, pushing the tragedy, which had been tried to downplay by the authorities, to the focus of global attention.
The approach at the time was that the Indian authorities were concerned about the couple's real influence. The Indian side not only forced them to delete the video, but also banned them from being interviewed by journalists. Under the guise of protection, they were taken to a place called a luxury hotel for "house arrest", and armed guards were arranged to monitor them in order to cut off their contact with the media.
After the heat decreases a little, the farce of paying compensation begins. They also arranged for the propaganda department to shoot a video for the couple, trumpeting their praise for India and enjoying their time in India.
Having traveled to most of Asia, India is truly an experience like never before
At the end of the video exposing the incident of the Internet celebrity couple, the couple revealed that they had traveled to most of Asia on motorcycles, not only to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries and regions, but also to Ta Lban, and all the places they went to were friendly to them, with the exception of India.
Reflection and Progress: Lessons from the Tragedy
More details revealed by this online celebrity couple also made the editor start to look at the country of India again, and forced us to re-evaluate how to protect ourselves from potential threats while exploring the unknown and enjoying the exotic.
For future travelers, the incident has become a painful lesson. It reminds people to plan their journey not only for the beautiful scenery, but also for a detailed safety plan to understand the safety status of the destination, especially when traveling in remote areas.
This is undoubtedly a resounding wake-up call for the Indian government and relevant departments. The strength and bravery of this couple have become a bright spot in the story. Not only do they speak up for themselves, but they also set an example for all those who have suffered injustice.
