Dear Friends On the 19th of December 2009, a police party from Godhra B Division police station launched a barbaric attack on the defenceless women in Hathila plot (Near Urdu school) in Godhra. They were reportedly pursuing an accused alleged of cow-slaughter. The police launched this attack on the women in Hathila plot under the pretext that they were sheltering the main accused. They verbally and physically assaulted the defenceless women in their houses and after terrorizing the community for over an hour, 8 women were dragged away. The women were illegally detained on false and frivolous charges and pushed into the police vehicles, in blatant violation of the guideline that women cannot be arrested and taken into custody without the presence of women constables. And this happened well past midnight. While the false and frivolous charges levelled against the women, and the wanton destruction that the police party had engaged in before taking the women away are also serious violations in themselves, this petition focuses on the inhuman battering and the sexual abuse the women were subjected to. This serious violation of human rights and the law by the police raises very serious questions regarding the impunity with which police engage in such brutal violations. On 21st January almost 350 people belonging to the affected families from Godhra town and activists and NGOs workers from all over Gujarat came together to condemn this heinous act of the police. The NCW (National Commission For Women) was in Godhra to look into the matter. Representations have already been made to the NCW.
