NEW DELHI (AP) ? Hundreds of people, mostly students, marched through the streets of the Indian capital on Saturday demanding prompt implementation of a government panel's recommendation that India strictly enforce sexual assault laws, commit to holding speedy rape trials and change the antiquated penal code to protect women. The government set up the panel in response to last month's gang rape and killing of a physiotherapy student on a New Delhi bus, which triggered massive protests across India blaming the government for failure to control crimes against women. The panel, headed by retired Chief Justice J.S. Verma, issued its findings Wednesday after considering more than 80,000 suggestions for a complete overhaul in the criminal justice system's treatment of violence against women.
