A staggering victory!!!!

When Kopila and I talked about the case against the guru recently, I described it as a David and Goliath battle and, of course, then had to explain what that meant!  We really felt like David but expected that, in this case, Goliath would win. But then, I have just received this email:Good morning and NamaskarWe are very very happy that [the little girl] got justice. The guru went jail for Six years and [she] got 50000/- NRS as a compensation.The news published today as a breaking news.  We won Didi.Everyone is stunned and delighted. Kopila has had phone calls from people congratulating her and this is real progress in Nepali justice. Obviously, the guru and his followers will appeal but Kopila feels fairly confident that the appeal will fail. She wrote:When the last hearing day the supporter was very confidant that the verdict goes in favor of Guru but after long pleading of the lawyers the court put him in Jail. First I couldn't believed and I didn't tell anyone but after sometime there was a call from the women who supported us...Didi I know women were very happy to know about this justice.  Now [the guru's] supporters are saying that they will go for the Appeal court.  I am sure Didi that he was found guilty in district court so there is no chance for him to be release.  People will know I was fighting for the rights of the little girl and her family and it was not the issue of money or publicity. This is just one case of many similar and one victory is such an encouragement at so many levels.
