Synopsis : A collective of writers, artists, activists and students gathered in Thiruvananthapuram to reject the recent court verdict in the 2017 actress assault case, calling it “deeply unsatisfactory” and insisting that justice for the survivor remains incomplete. They alleged that the judgment ignored the wider conspiracy behind the crime and demanded accountability for all those involved, including the alleged mastermind, actor Dileep.

A single banner reading “Avalkoppam” (With her) hung on Manaveeyam Veedhi in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, 10 December.
