印度强奸案嫌疑人被起诉

Police in India are set to formally charge six suspects in last month's gang rape of a 23-year-old woman who later died from her injuries.

印度警方对上月轮奸一名23岁女子的6名嫌疑人正式提出起诉。这名女子后来因伤势过重而死亡。

The suspects are facing charges of kidnapping, rape and murder, and authorities say they will push for the death penalty if the men are convicted.One of the suspects has undergone testing to determine his age because juveniles in India cannot be charged with murder.

这些嫌疑人被控绑架、强奸和谋杀等罪名，有关当局说，如果罪名成立，将要对这些嫌疑人判处死刑。由于在印度，不能以谋杀罪起诉未成年人，因此其中一名嫌疑人接受了检查，以确定他的年龄。

The government is expected to appoint attorneys to defend the men after bar association lawyers said they would not take part in the defense.

预计，印度政府将为这些嫌疑人指定辩护律师，此前印度律师协会表示不为这些被告辩护。

The unidentified woman died Saturday from severe internal injuries that her assailants caused with a metal rod during the attack on a bus December 16.

上星期六，那名未透露姓名的女子死于严重内伤，攻击她的袭击者12月16号在一辆公交车里用一根金属棒殴打她。
