BBC NEWS | South Asia | Outrage at Musharraf rape remarks: "The president made his comments in an interview with the Washington Post on 13 September, incensing campaigners and others at home.

'You must understand the environment in Pakistan. This has become a money-making concern,' he said.

'A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.'

In Karachi on Friday, 19 rights and advocacy groups vented their anger at the remarks, holding banners such as: 'Who wants to be a millionaire - just get raped!'

Sumar Mallah, a fisherman whose five-year-old daughter was raped and killed on 5 September, was at the rally.

Mr Mallah said: 'The police and the rapists have been insisting that I accept money and forget about my daughter. I will never settle for money. I want justice.'"
