---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Teesta Setalvad <[email protected]> Date: 26 August 2014 16:56 Subject: ABA Application for Survivors of 2002 and HRDs Setalvad and Anand adjourned to September 8, 2014
August 26, 2014 Today, August 26, 2014 the hearing of the Anticipatory Bail Application of Three Survivors of the Gulberg Society Massacre of 2002, Tanvir Jafri, Salim Sandhi and Firoz Gulzar Pathan and two human rights defenders, Javed Anand and Teesta Setalvad got adjourned to September 8, 2014. Advocates Mihir Thakore and Mihir Desai were present for the five accused but after the matter was kept back to the afternoon, the state government advocate asked for time. The simple application for the protection of life and liberty has been kept back in this vindictive and malafide complaint by the brute insistence of the Gujarat Police --despite all frivolous queries being answered in detail. The Citizens for Justice and Peace, an organisation led by Setalvad has, along with Survivors of the 2002 carnage been responsible for a collective struggle within the Courts that has ensured that 122 perpetrators of the 2002 carnage being convicted to life imprisonment.The PUCL India, Amnesty International, Advocates for Human Rights and other prominent Indian citizens including Justices BN Srikrishna and PB Sawant have issued public appeals in support of all five accused who have been wrongly victimised for the past eight months. _____________________________________________________________________ Nirant, Juhu Tara Road, Juhu, Mumbai - 400 049.
