BRAZIL: 30 men rape 16yr old and post pics and videos on twitter

By -
Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian police say they are hunting for more than 30 men suspected of participating in the gang-rape of a 16-year-old over the weekend. The attackers posted pictures and videos of the assault on the unconscious teenager on Twitter.

Police said on Thursday that the girl was assaulted by armed men on Saturday, May 21, while visiting a shantytown on the west side of Rio de Janeiro. She told authorities she regained consciousness Sunday morning, May 22.

In her statement to the police, the victim said that the moment she woke up, she saw nearly 30 men surrounding her with weapons in their hand. Before she could think of anything, they attacker her and brutally raped her till she passed out.


The UN women's rights agency condemned the cases after the video was posted on Twitter apparently by one of the rapists who boasted about the assault.

According to Brazilian media, the video posted on Wednesday, May 25, showed a girl of 16 surrounded by men who claimed she had been raped by 30 of them in Rio de Janeiro, which hosts the Olympic Games in August.

In another case, a group of at least five men allegedly drugged and raped a 17-year-old girl in the northeastern state of Piaui.

"Apart from the fact that these are young women, these barbaric cases are similar in that the teenagers were lured by their attackers in premeditated plots," the spokeswoman for UN Women in Brazil, Nadine Gasman, said on Thursday.

"I cried when I saw the video. We all cried. I regret seeing it,” the victim’s grandmother was quoted as saying. "When we heard the story, we didn't believe it. It's a depressing situation," added her grandmother.

The posting of the video by the attackers sparked a wave of revulsion among Brazilians on social media.

Four suspects have been arrested so far in connection with the gangrape. Rio de Janeiro police said they were investigating the case in the video.

Boko Haram on Sunday released a video of the girls allegedly kidnapped from Chibok in April 2014, showing some who are still alive and claiming others died in air strikes. The video is the latest release from embattled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who earlier this month denied claims that he had been replaced as the leader of the jihadist group. “They should know that their children are still in our hands,” said a man whose face was covered by a turban in the video posted on YouTube. “There is a number of the girls, about 40 of them, that have been married by the decision of Allah,” said the man in the 11-minute video, which shows girls with veils sitting on the ground and standing in the background. “Some of them have died as a result of aerial bombardment.” The mass kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014 provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention on the Boko Haram conflict, in which at least 20,000 people have been killed since 2009
