Activists criticize 6-year sentence for mom who strangled her rapist.

A Mexican woman, Roxana Ruiz, who strangled a man to death with a t-shirt after he raped her has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for homicide with "excessive use of legitimate defense." Ruiz's lawyers and women's rights activists have slammed the ruling as discriminatory and a bad precedent in a country plagued by gender-based violence. The case highlights Mexico's poor record of holding accused rapists accountable and revictimizing survivors. Nearly half of Mexican women have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime, according to government data.
