Hi, Mayavathi released 400 prisoners using federal right of state government. Achuthanandan's progressive Kerala government is yet to release 56 prisoners
who were recommended by Jail Advisory board. Yesterday, about 100 people participated in "Haritha Rali' in trivandrum and demanded prisoners' rights.This is in continuation with two year long agitation by Anti Death Penalty Committee which succeeded in releasing three prisoners including 80 years old Annamma . Two prisoners in Trissur recently went on indefenite fast and got assurance from Kodiyeri that he will take action as soon as possible. Mayavathi never feared media . She made their predictions wrong. Achuthanandan would never have been even a candidate without the mercy of media. Even though they might be interested in releasing eligible prisoners, they would never take a bold step unless media demands it. Karnataka, Tamilnad and Punjab exerciosed their federal right in favour of prisoners. 'Secular', "Progressive' intellectuals and CPIM sympathisers here still believe that Temple , not Jail need reforms on a war footing. Thanthris in Guruvayoor are not as ' barbarian' as thses self congratulating Manthris . Secularism here begs a thourough rethinking -- Dileep Raj Tel: 09447316701 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ greenyouth mailinglist is the activist support mailinglist for kerala To post to this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
