Yes, Kian, the award is from last year and I am sure you have covered it earlier. Can we have a little intelligent reporting, rather than mindless reproduction.

Hi,

Thank you for your comments.

The White Industries award, as you have rightly pointed out, is from November 2011.

When Firstpost reported about IAT's interesting observations on the SC only yesterday, we found it relevant to report in the news round up.

Any confusion caused is regretted.

Best wishes,
Prachi

The headline is misleading and contradicts the text which clearly indicates that the rapist has not yet been castrated.

Moreover, South Korea "legally" castrates rapist just sounds dumb. I'm sure you meant to say "chemically" in place of "legally"
