印度最高法院驳回了要求继续监禁一名年轻男子的上诉。2012年，六名男子野蛮强奸一名年轻女性，这名男子是其中一人。
India's Supreme Court has rejected an appeal to keep a young man in prison. He was one of six males who brutally raped a young woman in 2012.
法院星期一说，依照现行法律，拘禁期不能超过三年。
The court said Monday "Under the present law, detention cannot be extended beyond three years."
其他五名男子已被判刑，但这名年轻男子犯案时只有17岁，所以被送入教养所拘禁三年，按照印度法律，三年是教养拘禁的最长期限。
Five of the men were sent to prison, but the youngest, who was 17 at the time, was sent to a correctional facility for three years; the maximum term allowed under Indian law.
德里保护女性权益委员会提出上诉，要求继续拘禁这名现年20岁的男子。
The Delhi Commission for Women filed the petition to keep the young man, who is now 20, in custody.
该委员会在上诉书中说，印度政府并未提出任何证据来表明这名男子的心理状态已得到转变，而罪恶扭曲的心理状态将使其继续对女性构成严重威胁。
DCW wrote in its petition the Indian government has not submitted any material "to establish that the mental state of the respondent has been reformed . . .the respondent continues to have criminal/perverse bent of mind which poses a serious threat to women."
