Indian Muslim women listen to a speaker during a 'Justice Rally' in Mumbai October 25, 2007. Thousands of Muslims held a rally in India's financial capital on Thursday demanding justice for victims of communal riots that left hundreds dead in 1993 and led to the country's worst bombings in retaliation. Justice for the victims of the bombings was delivered in August after 14 years, with the conviction of 100 people, mostly Muslims. But those responsible for the deadly riots have still to be brought to book. The riots killed around 900 people, two thirds of them Muslims. REUTERS/Arko Datta (INDIA)
