Australian Court sentences two teenagers for terrorising & robbing Indians

An Australian court today sentenced two teenagers for terrorising and robbing six Indian men over four days last year, in a racist rampage they codenamed Punji hunting. Awarding the sentences, Judge Liz Gaynor said both young men were on the edge of a slippery slope leading into the dark pit of Port Phillip Prison. According to 'Herald Sun', Julius Medina and Peter Salapura – both 19-year-old- had avoided jail sentencing. Judge Gaynor sentenced Medina to three years detention in a Youth Justice Centre and Salapura was sentenced to perform 624 hours of unpaid community works as part of an intensive corrections order. Gaynor said the term “Punji hunting” was appalling and degrading while stressing that the attacks were not motivated by a hatred of Indians.
