Comments : Camilo Fernandes In response to Floriano's below post. All Goans should unitedly support, condemn and demand a full and proper investigation of the custodial death of Cipriano as suggested by Floriano and his Goa Su-Raj party. Today it is the tragic death of our fellow Goan, Cipriano while tomorrow it could be any one of us or our near and dear ones. Unless pressure is brought on the politicians to take action and to punish the guilty i.e. police personnel in charge of the case, incidents like these will continue and the culprits will go scot free as they know nothing will happen to them. Dev borem korum Camilo Fernandes From: "floriano" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>,a <Date: 15 January, 2011 To, The Editor, (Herald/GT/NT/TOI/Gomantak/Pudhari/Tarun Bharat . Via Post) Panjim-Goa. Sir, Sub: Press Note for Kind Favour of Publication The Goa Su-Raj Party whilst condoling the police custodial death of Cipriano Fernandes of Moira, sympathizes with his family and friends. I have seen Cipriano grow up in Moira, says Floriano Lobo, the General Secretary of the Party. Though Cipriano may have had his faults, to have been done to death in police custody is indeed shocking, says he. Floriano Lobo further re-iterates that Cipriano had no history whatsoever of epilepsy or any illness and was indeed fit as a fiddle, being a sea-faring person. If at all he had suffered epilepsy type fits needing to be hospitalized, these fits have certainly resulted from the severe physical abuse and injuries received while in police custody. The Goa Su-Raj Party is demanding full and proper investigation of this custodial death amounting to murder, preferably through a judicial inquiry so that the concerned police personnel are brought to book. In the meantime the Party demands that these police personnel who were in charge of handling Cipriano be put on immediate suspension. Thanking you, Yours truly, for Goa Su-Raj Party (Floriano Lob) General Secretary/Spokesperson
