A court in Pakistan has sentenced two men to death for a rape which triggered public outrage.

Abid Mehli and Shafqat Ali came across a Pakistani-French woman and her two children stranded on a motorway near Lahore after running out of petrol.

The men broke into their car, robbed them and raped the woman in front of her children.

Later comments by a policeman, who questioned why the woman had been out late on her own, led to mass protests.

Their lawyer said they would appeal against the decision.
