Dr Kafeel Ahmad Khan, who was lauded as the “hero” for saving lives of many children during the BRD Medical College <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Raghav_Das_Medical_College> tragedy in Uttar Pradesh <http://www.up.gov.in/> last year—that killed over 30 children due to oxygen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen> shortage on the intervening night of August 10-11—has been languishing in Gorakhpur <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorakhpur> prison for the past eight months. He has been denied bail by the lower court and Allahabad High Court <http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=25.4530555556,81.8205555556&spn=0.01,0.01&q=25.4530555556,81.8205555556%20(Allahabad%20High%20Court)&t=h> has not been hearing his matter because of one reason or the other.
Dr Kafeel was arrested and sent to jail on September 2 last year after an FIR was filed against him on August 23. He has been charged under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) and 409 (Criminal breach of trust by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Penal_Code> (IPC). The young doctor has penned a 10-page letter to the media from the prison, describing why his arrest is unjust. http://www.kractivist.org/gorakhpur-hospital-tragedy-dr-kafeels-letter-from-jail/ -- Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist Hey folks, coined this term ” Kracktivism “, check out my blog *http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/ <http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/>* Blog for Political prisoners https://indiapoliticalprisoners.wordpress.com Blog for Girl child- http://fassmumbai.wordpress.com/ Blog for Kashmir -http://kashmirsolidaritymumbai.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/Kracktivist https://www.facebook.com/kamayani *I carry a torch in one hand And a bucket of water in the other: With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven And put out the flames of Hell So that voyagers to God can rip the veils And see the real goal.......
