The protests began in large and small groups across Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and Singapore, before spreading to cities in many European countries, with 60 protests scheduled in the United States.

These protests add to ongoing demonstrations across India following the murder of the 31-year-old graduate student on August 9.

Authorities arrested a suspect along with the former director of R.G. Medical College, where the intern had been studying.

In one protest held in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, dozens of women dressed in black gathered in a square, singing Bengali songs and holding signs demanding accountability for the perpetrators and safety for Indian women.

“We were devastated and shocked by the news of this heinous crime committed against a young medical intern while she was performing her duty,” said Deepti Jain, one of the protest organizers.
