Jailed children living in most inhospitable condition: ULFA NET News Network Guwahati, Aug 15: The banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) today alleged that minimum diet required for all around development of a child has not been supplied by the Indian government to the jailed ULFA's children. In the latest edition of its mouthpiece " Freedom" the outfit informed that " During the last 2 years 28 children of ULFA aged between 2- 10 have been kept behind bars in different jails of Asom and have been compelled to cope with the most inhospitable condition within the high walls the jail which is totally unsuitable for all round development of their mental and physical health". These children who were captured during the Indo-Bhutan joint military operation against ULFA in December 2003 have been deprived of minimum diet required for all around development of a child. "Children devour anything when they are hungry. So like other prisoners, despite knowing the deficiency in nutrition of the diet, they have to eat what they are given," outfit alleged. Finally the outfit appealed to all the masses of Asom, conscious citizens, Human rights organizations, particularly to international organizations to take firm steps against such crimes against these children. Meanwhile, the outfit also condemned the tragic circumstances under which 12 years old girl Rukmini Kalindi belonging to the tea tribe community from Safrai Ganjupara village under Saraideo sub-division of Sivasagar district in Assam committed suicide after being raped. "The victim committed suicide unable to bear the psychological and mental pressure during serial interrogation for long three days in Asom Police custody," alleged the mouthpiece. _______________________________________________
