India to execute serial rapists as it toughens sexual violence laws after series of brutal gang rapes

India's Parliament today passed a sweeping new law to protect women against sexual violence in response to the fatal gang rape of a young bus passenger in New Delhi. The law, which still requires the president's signature before it becomes official, makes stalking, voyeurism and sexual harassment a crime. It also provides for the death penalty for repeat offenders or for rape attacks that lead to the victim's death.
