Assam: Where justice has eluded journalists More than 20 journalists have been killed in Assam in the past 15 years or so, says the writer. In most cases, the perpetrators have not been brought to book, yet the affected families and the journalist fraternity still live in the hope that justice will be delivered.
“I keep waiting for the day (May 17) every time with pain, and also with expectation that somebody would bring me news that the killers of Parag Kumar Das have been dragged to the court of justice,” laments a fragile, old woman. The people of Assam recognise Anupama Das and understand her pain – of losing a brilliant son a decade ago. Indeed, hoping against hope, well wishers of the Parag family and the media fraternity in Northeast India continue to wait for justice. http://www.pressinstitute.in/vidura13.html _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
