The Best Bakery case- what's the truth

I've been following the Zaheera/Best Bakery case intermittently, and can't provide any kind of informed analysis. I'm quite clear about where my sympathies lie- both with Teesta Setalvad and with Zaheera. She's obviously really brave to have agreed to testify in the first place, and given that she's under the protection of the Gujarat police (what a joke, you assign the protection of the witness to the very same body that stood by and did nothing while the riots happened) one can only imagine the pressure she's under. What amazes me is that given that 2000 people died in Gujarat, all attention is now focussed on this one trial. What happened to the rest of the cases? What about justice for all those affected by the Gujarat riots?
