MEETING WITH SURVIVORS OF MUMBAI RIOTS and ACTIVISTS on IMPLEMENTATION OF SRIKRISHNA COMMITTEE REPORT
Tuesday, 23rd October 2007 5 pm – 7pm Indian Social Institute, 10 Institutional Area, Lodhi Road. New Delhi Dear friends and comrades, · The petition challenging the implementation of the findings of the Srikrishna Committee Report is scheduled to come up for hearing in the Supreme Court on Oct 30, 2007. · A team from Mumbai is arriving in Delhi to share with us all the status of the case and the continuing struggle of the survivors of the Mumbai 92 --93 riots and meet other national bodies in the capital, including the press. · The team consists of Shakil Ahmed, Farooque Mhapkar, Hasina Khan and Sandhya Gokhale. On 16th February 1998, Justice B.N.Srikrishna submitted the report on Mumbai Riots, December 92-January 93. The three main sections of the report recommend: Action against 31 policemen ( these are named in the report) Reinvestigation of the closed cases - 60 % of all the riot cases are closed, a total of 1358 cases. Compensation for the families of those missing since the riots. Many governments have come and gone in Maharashtra but no one has made a single attempt to implement any of the recommendations given by this report. As a consequence, the people who suffered in these riots have got no justice at all even after 15 years of the barbaric assault on their lives, livelihoods, families and belongings. Therefore, it is important we meet and discuss and mobilise attention around the scheduled Supreme Court hearing. We have organised a meeting that will be addressed by the team from Mumbai. Please attend the meeting and also help us invite everyone you know and are in touch with for this very important meeting.
