International
alert
Dear
recipient Assam Watch(UK) wishes to file a distressing Human Rights
violation report that has taken place at Kakopathar, Assam; today the 10
February 2006. It has been reliably learnt that Indian security forces
opened fire on a at least fifteen thousand unarmed demonstrators demonstrating
on the National Highway 52 demanding punishment of the guilty officers and the
withdrawal of the Army from the region after the murder of an innocent person
Ajit Mahanta on the night of 5 February after he was picked up by Indian
soldiers from his home.
Indian security men used live bullets killing 10 persons,
3 of them are girls. Assam Watch(UK) condemns
this wanton killings on unarmed civilians expressing their democratic rights. We
at Assam Watch(UK) perceive this as a wilful massacre by the
Assam Watch(UK) request all human rights organisations to
voice appropriately against this savagery of the Indian authorities so that such
violations are not repeated again. We would also urge you to consider forwarding this alert
call to all you contacts. Dr. M. Hazarika Co-Ordinator A voluntary non-profit making human rights
organisation. |
