5 | A recent op-ed by a gang rape victim in Nepal has caused a stir in the mountainous country. Rape and other kinds of violence against women are prevalent in Nepal and many of the perpetrators get away. | Puja Bohara, mpianatra iray eo amin'ny famaranana ny taom-pianarany, niteny fa nomena zava-mahadomelina izy ary naolan'i Sagar Bhatta, tompon'ny fivarotam-boky iray, sy i Amar Awasthi, mpakasary iray, tamin'ny Marsa 2012 raha nitsidika ny fivarotan'i Bhatta ratovovavy hividy taratasy [gazety] vitsivitsy. |
6 | Puja Bohara, a student in her final year of school, says she was drugged and raped by Sagar Bhatta, a book shop owner, and Amar Awasthi, a photographer, in March 2012 when she visited Bhatta's store to buy some papers. | |
7 | The two men were sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined Rs 50,000 (about 500 US dollars) each by the Baitadi District Court for the crime. | Nodidiana higadra 13 an-tranomaizina ireo lehilahy roa ireo ary mandoa onitra Rs 50 000 (tokotokony ho 500 dolara amerikana) tsirairay avy tao amin'ny Lapan'ny fitsarana ao amin'ny distrikan'i Baitadi noho ny heloka bevava vitan'izy ireo. |
8 | But the following year on April 28, 2014, the Mahendranagar Appellate Court overturned the decision and acquitted them. | Saingy ny taona manaraka tamin'ny 28 Avrily 2014, nampitsimbadika ny didy navoaka ny Fitsarana Ambony tao Mahendranagar ka nanafaka azy ireo madiodio. |
9 | On December 16, 2014, Nepali-language newspaper Kantipur Daily published a touching open letter to Nepal's Law Minister Narahari Acharya by Puja, requesting that the men who raped her be punished: | Tamin'ny 16 Desambra 2014, namoaka taratasy misokatra nampihetsi-po avy amin'i Puja hoan'ny Minisitry ny Lalànan'i Nepal, Narahari Acharya, ny gazety iray mivoaka isan'andro amin'ny teny Nepaley Kantipur, mangataka ny tokony hanasaziana ireo lehilahy nanolana azy: |
10 | Before I end this letter, I would like to ask the law minister about those convicted who were sentenced to 13 years in prison and again set free into society. | Mialoha ny hamaranako ity taratasy ity, tiako ny manontany ny minisitry ny lalàna momba ireo efa nodidiana hisazy 13 taona any an-tranomaizina nefa dia noafahana indray hiverina ao amin'ny fiarahamonina. |
11 | Are they innocent, those who ruined my life? | Tsy meloka ve izy ireo izay namotika ny fiainako? |
12 | It raises a moral question for society regarding the crime, and society is unsure of who is innocent and who is guilty. | Manangana fanontaniana ara-pitondratena hoan'ny fiarahamonina izy ity noho ny heloka bevava, ary tsy matoky tsara ny fiarahamonina hoe iza no tsy manantsiny ary iza no meloka. |
13 | If you are convinced and have got enough evidence, than you can arrest me under the law. | Raha toa resy lahatra ianao fa nanao ny tsy mety aho ary ampy ny porofo dia afa-misamboatra ahy araka ny lalàna ianao. |
14 | If not, then those rapists should face the consequences of the law and be rearrested - give me justice. | Raha tsy izany kosa dia tokony hiatrika ny vokatry ny lalàna ireo mpanolana ireo ary samborina indray - omeo rariny aho. |
15 | Regards, Puja Bohara | Veloma, Puja Bohara |
16 | 17-year-old Puja comes from Baitadi district, the farthest western regional district of Nepal adjacent to Jhulaghat, India. | i Puja izay 17 taona dia avy amin'ny distrikan'i Baitadi, faritra andrefana indrindra ao Nepal mifanila amin'i Jhulaghat, India. |
17 | Puja's father, who is a farmer, doesn't have enough farmland on his own, so he has been working the farmlands of a rich man house to maintain his family. | Ny rain'i Puja, izay tantsaha, dia tsy manana toeram-pambolena ampy ho azy, ka niasa tamin'ny sahan'ny mpanakohariana iray izy hihazonana ny fianakaviany. |
18 | Puja struggled much to be in school, walking more than an hour and half to get to class, and was one of the brightest students of the school, securing first place in class every year. | |
19 | Puja's open letter became the talk of the town this week as people started raising questions about the appellate court's decision and voicing their support for her. | Niady mafy i Puja mba ho tafiditra an-tsekoly, mandeha an-tongotra mihoatra ny adiny iray sy sasany handehanana any an-dakilany, ary iray amin'ny mpianatra mamiratra indrindra ao an-tsekoly, mihazona hatrany ny laharana voalohany isan-taona. |
20 | In an interview with Nepali-language Himalaya TV earlier this month, Puja asked, “Those who had raped me, are they deemed innocent after the court verdict?” | Lasa firesaka ao an-tanàna ny taratasy misokatra nalefan'i Puja tamin'ity herinandro ity rehefa latsa-panontaniana tamin'ny fanapahan-kevitry ny fitsarana ambony ny olona ary nanome ny feony ho fanohanana an-drazazavavy. |
21 | Puja also urged the law minister to make harsher laws for convicted rapists, including the death penalty. In current Nepalese law, there is no death penalty. | Tao amin'ny antsafa iray nifanaovana tamin'ny fahitalavitra miteny Nepaley Himalaya tamin'ny fiandohan'ity volana ity, nanontany i Puja, “Ireo nanolana ahy, heverina ho tsy manantsiny ve izy ireo taorian'ny didim-pitsarana?” |
22 | On December 17, 2014, Law Minister Narahari Acharya commented on the issue, assuring justice for Puja. | Nandrisika ny minisitry ny lalàna ihany koa i Puja mba hanangana lalàna henjana kokoa hoan'ireo nomelohina ho mpanolana, ka tafiditra amin'izany ny famonoana ho faty. |
23 | Prominent politician and former Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai commented, “Puja's letter made me cry.” | Ao amin'ny lalàna nepaley amin'izo fotoana izao dia tsy misy ny didy fanamelohana ho faty. |
24 | Menuka Thapa, chairperson of Raksha Nepal, the NGO which is providing shelter for Puja, is also speaking out to demand justice for Puja. | Tamin'ny 17 Desambra 2014, naneho ny heviny momba ity raharaha ity ny Minisitry ny Lalàna Narahari Acharya, nanome antoka ny hisian'ny rariny hoan'i Puja. |
25 | People are using Twitter to voice their support as well: | Naneho hevitra ny politisiana malaza sady praiminisitra teo aloha ny Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, “Nampitomany ahy ny taratasin'i Puja.” |
26 | Pooja Bohara's powerful letter reveals about our justice system, social security and governance. | Menuka Thapa, filohan'i Raksha Nepal, ONG iray nanome fialofana an'i Puja, dia nidradradradra ihany koa hanome rariny hoan'i Puja. |
27 | Let's raise voice! http://t.co/m9Qohp2lU9 | Nampiasa ny Twitter ny olona hilaza ny fanohanany ihany koa: |

39 | After publishing of the open letter, civil society, rights organisations and media have escalated pressure on the government to act. The law minister has assured that Puja will get justice. | |
40 | Now Puja has hope, at least for now. | Ankehitriny dia manam-panantenana i Puja, farafaharatsiny hatramin'izao. |
