Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, 被判犯有强奸和谋杀罪,尽管不断上诉和公开抗议,仍第15次获得假释。 Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, convicted of rape and murder, released on parole for 15th time despite ongoing appeals and public outcry.

印度Dera Sacha Sauda教派领袖Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh自2017年被判犯有强奸罪并因两起谋杀(包括2002年杀害记者Ram Chander Chhacrapati)被判无期徒刑以来,已第15次获得假释。 Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, leader of India’s Dera Sacha Sauda sect, has been released on parole for the 15th time since his 2017 conviction for rape and his life sentences for two murders, including the 2002 killing of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati. 尽管存在严重罪行和民族愤慨,他在过去八年中在监狱外度过了400多天,释放往往与宗教活动或选举有关。 Despite serious crimes and national outrage, he has spent over 400 days outside prison in the past eight years, with releases often tied to religious events or elections. Haryana的假释规则于2022年修订,允许对有良好行为的囚犯实行缓刑,而法院也认为释放是合法的,尽管批评者指责该教派的政治和社会影响造成了偏袒制度。 Haryana’s parole rules, revised in 2022, allow furloughs for inmates with good conduct, and courts have upheld the releases as lawful, though critics accuse the system of favoritism due to the sect’s political and social influence. Singh否认所有指控,并继续上诉,他仍然是一个两极分化的数字,他的宗教教义、社会方案和流行文化的存在被吸引了一大群人。 Singh, who denies all charges and continues to appeal, remains a polarizing figure with a large following drawn to his religious teachings, social programs, and pop culture presence.
