To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:07:05 +0000Subject: [asom] Statement of BHRPC regarding The Violence in Guwahati Humanity Was Raped in Guwahati on 24th November, 2007More than 20 people were killed, 3 women raped, one girl stripped offin the highway and paraded, about 300 thousand injured of whom thecondition of 10 is critical and 45 persons simply disappeared when thedemonstrators belonging to Adibasi, as some tribal communities--mainlyKul, Santal, Munda--who work in tea gardens are known here, weremarching towards the state secretariat in Dispur, Guwahati on thefateful day of 24th November as a part of their programme formulatedto push for the age-long demand of including the communities in thelist of scheduled castes.In the course of the march while policestopped them before they reached the Last Gate of the MLA Hostel someof the demonstrators turned violent and destroyed properties such asshops, vehicles etc. and injured some pedestrians. Some localresidents came out to retaliate the violence, to take revenge and toteach the tribals a lesson. In the process they got wild and savage somuch so that they lost every sense of humanity and unleashed the brutewithin them. The beast killed many innocent persons, kicked the deadbodies with diabolic enjoyment, stripped many women off all cloths,raped them and it raped the humanity. We saw in Guwahati the wilddance of the beast.Circumstances cry to yet another most diabolic fact that during theperiod of 4 to 5 hours of this wild dance of the beast in thepolitical and administrative power center of the state no worthmention state presence was there. The beast danced with the tacitleave of the state. The state allowed the beast to finish itshorrendous ritual by making it self absent. It is nothing but thenaked parade of electoral politics in its worst.The officials of the organisation which co-ordinated the programmetold that they did not have any intention to create a violentsituation. They regretted the fact of committing violence by some oftheir members.The facts which indicate clearly towards direct and indirect abetmentof the government are: 1. When the tribal groups sought permission for a meeting and ademonstration they were denied.2. When they held the meeting and demonstration there was no adequatearrangement of security forces.3. After the mayhem started no forces sent to control the situation.4. Government is trying desperately to show down the incident reducingthe number of casualties in its statement,perhaps in order to savethe perpetrators from the law.5. The authorities of the medical college hospital where most of theinjured were admitted released many of them without proper treatmentto show down the enormity of the mayhem, perhaps in order to save theperpetrators from the law.6. At first just an inquiry by an additional chief secretary wasordered and later a judicial inquiry overlooking callously the demandsof CBI probe.7. More cases registered against the demonstrators that against thelocal residents.8. No case was registered regarding rape cases.There some other more painful facts indicative of the callousness ofthe so-called civil society which include the attitude of the media incovering the incident. Most of the local media presented the story insuch a way as if they are justifying, or at least making an excuse of,the brutality meted out to the demonstrators by making tacit statementof who-started-it-first. There are also allegations that doctorsraped a victim girl who was brought in Guwahati Medical College. Thesespeak a volume of the attitude of Assamese people towards the tribalswhich also can explain the barbarity committed against the Adibasis.The Barak Human Rights Protection Committee categorically condemns theviolence and the mayhem. The committee demands: 1. A CBI probe into the whole incident.2. Compensation of 5 lakhs to the family of deceased, 2 lakh to thevictim of rape, 1 lakh to the victim of abuse 50 thousand to theseverely injured, 25 thousand to the other injured and adequatecompensation to those whose properties were destroyed.The Barak Human Rights Committee urges the Assam State Human RightsCommission to register a suo-moto case against the police and othergovernment officials for whose negligence in duty made the mayhempossible.The Committee requests all people to maintain peace and harmony.__._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
