A 19-year-old Bangladeshi girl has died after being doused in kerosene and set alight by four burka-clad assailants on the roof of her madrassa school after she refused to withdraw allegations of sexual abuse.
Nusrat Jahan Rafi two weeks earlier had accused the headmaster of touching her in an inappropriate manner at the Islamic school in Bangladesh, where women often don’t speak out against sexual abuse for fear of reprisals.
