The school rooftop burning of a teenage girl in Bangladesh has sparked national protest with Human Rights Watch saying the act was in retaliation for claims of sexual harassment. "The horrifying murder of a brave woman who sought justice shows how badly the government has failed victims of sexual assault," Ganguly said. Nusrat's funeral was attended by thousands, as her story gripped Bangladesh and activists across the country and the world demanded better treatment for victims of sexual violence. The incident came after Nusrat had reported to police a sexual assault. The 5 minute and 11 second video showed Nusrat highly distressed and crying as she recounted her story.
