IBM is heavily entrenched in India and so is GAP at the expense
of American jobs.
Why do you support the brutal treatment of women by doing
business with these companies?

SINGAPORE (Reuters) � The condition of the medical student whose
gang rape triggered mass protests has deteriorated and there are
signs her vital organs have failed, the Singapore hospital
treating her said.
The 23-year-old, who was severely beaten, raped and thrown out
of a moving bus in New Delhi, was flown to Singapore by the
Indian government on Wednesday for specialist treatment.
Most rapes and other sex crimes in India go unreported and
offenders are rarely punished, women�s rights activists say. But
the brutality of the assault on December 16 triggered public
outrage and demands for both better policing and harsher
punishment for rapists.
The case has received blanket coverage on cable television news
channels. The woman has not been identified but some media have
called her �Amanat�, an Urdu word meaning �treasure�.
�As of 9 p.m. Singapore time on Dec 28 (1300 GMT), the patient�s
condition has taken a turn for the worse. Her vital signs are
deteriorating, with signs of severe organ failure,� Mount
Elizabeth Hospital Chief Executive Kelvin Loh said in a
statement on Friday.
�Her family members have been informed that her condition has
deteriorated and they are currently by her side to encourage and
comfort her,� he said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh�s government has been battling
criticism that it was tone-deaf to the outcry and heavy-handed
in its response to the protests in New Delhi.
Some Indian medical experts questioned the decision to airlift
the woman to Singapore, calling it a risky manoeuvre given the
seriousness of her injuries. They said she was already receiving
the best possible care in India, which possesses world-class
medical facilities.
FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE
The Singapore hospital said earlier on Friday that the woman had
suffered �significant brain injury� and was surviving against
the odds. She had already undergone three abdominal operations
before being flown to Singapore.
Demonstrations over the lack of safety for women erupted across
India after the attack, culminating last weekend in pitched
battles between police and protesters in the heart of New Delhi.
If the woman dies it could trigger new protests and possibly
fresh confrontations with the police, especially in the Indian
capital, which has been the focus of the demonstrations.
New Delhi has been on edge since the weekend clashes. Hundreds
of policemen have been deployed on the streets of the capital
and streets leading to the main protest site, the India Gate war
memorial, have been shut for long periods, causing commuter
chaos in the city of 16 million.
Political commentators and sociologists say the rape has tapped
into a deep well of frustration that many Indians feel over what
they see as weak governance and poor leadership on social and
economic issues.
Many protesters have complained that Singh�s government has done
little to curb the abuse of women in the country of 1.2 billion.
A global poll by Thomson Reuters Foundation in June found that
India was the worst place to be a woman because of high rates of
infanticide, child marriage and slavery.
New Delhi has the highest number of sex crimes among India�s
major cities, with a rape reported on average every 18 hours,
according to police figures. Government data show the number of
reported rape cases in the country rose by nearly 17 percent
between 2007 and 2011.
�We share the anguish and anger with the country over this
heinous crime,� Prime Minister Singh told reporters on Friday.
�Our prayers are with the brave young girl and best possible
medical care is being provided to her.�
Update: She's dead.
