महोदया ,

आपका ध्यान २० जनवरी,२०१२ के दैनिक अख़बार"दैनिक जनवाणी" मेरठ में प्रकाशित खबर " जेल कर्मी पीटते थे,लगा ली फांसी" की ओर आकर्षित कराना चाहती हूँ.जिसमे १५ वर्षीय चाँद पुत्र कदीर,निवासी मिर्जापुर, थाना विजय नगर(गाजियाबाद) का रहने वाला है. वह ५अप्रैल २०१० से चोरी के एक मामले राजकीय बाल सुधार गृह मेरठ में बंद था. उसने १९जनवरी,२०१२ को अचानक फांसी लगाने काप्रयास किया,जिससे वह बेहोश हो गया. उसेआनन-फानन में जिला अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया. जहाँ पर उसने एसओ नौचंदी अलकापवार के सामने यह बयान दिया की आये दिन उसकी बंदी गृह में पिटाई की जाती थी क्योकिउसके पास बंदी गृह के कर्मियों को देने के लिए रुपये नहीं थे. चार दिन पहले भीउसकी खूब पिटाई की गई थी.उसने आगे बताया की १० माह से उसका उत्पीडन किया जा रहाथा.
लेकिन आज तक पुलिस द्वारा कोई भी कार्यवाही नहीं की गई.

NHRC sends notice to state a day after police gun down five

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/NHRC-sends-notice-to-state-a-day-after-police-gun-down-five/articleshow/12027003.cms

CHENNAI: A day after they gunned down five men who are suspected to have robbed two banks in the city, the Chennai police are finding themselves in the firing line.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday issued notices to the Tamil Nadu director general of police and the district magistrate and the senior superintendent of police, Chennai, to investigate the deaths.

Around the same time, a lawyer filed a public interest litigation in the Madras high court, seeking a direction to the state to register a case of murder against police personnel involved in the alleged encounter and hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Chennai police officials were at their evasive best on Friday as XIV metropolitan magistrate Geetha Rani of the Egmore court completed the preliminary inquiry.

"Let the judicial inquiry answer your questions," said Chennai commissioner J K Tripathy, reacting to media reports exposing various holes in the police story. Contrary to the police claim that a special team descended on A L Mudali Street in Velachery, where the five men lived, after midnight, neighbours had told reporters that the place was teeming with police well before 10pm on Wednesday. The absence of blood on the walls and the minor injuries suffered by two inspectors while all the suspects took bullets in their heads had raised questions against the police version that they had opened fire in self-defence.

The NHRC, meanwhile, served the notice based on an online complaint from Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights secretary general Lenin Raghuvanshi.

The commission directed the officers to respond to its notice within eight weeks along with the magisterial inquiry report, the postmortem report and an independent investigation report. "The commission will deliberate on these and take further action," said NHRC public relations officer Jaimini Kumar Srivastava.

Raghuvanshi told TOI that his complaint was based on the rule of law. "We want an independent probe by the state government, as per the guidelines of the NHRC," he said. In his complaint, he sought videography of the postmortem of the victims and asked that the same be communicated to the NHRC.

Concerned over the deaths during the course of police action, the NHRC, in May 2010, had told chief ministers of all states to follow revised guidelines since its previous recommendations were not followed in "true spirit." If a specific complaint is made against the police alleging the commission of a criminal act on their part, which makes out a cognizable case of culpable homicide, the case shall be investigated by the state CB-CID or any other specialised investigation agency.

Prompt prosecution and disciplinary action must be initiated against all delinquent officers found guilty in the magisterial inquiry or police investigation, the NHRC noted.

Fake cloud on 'robber' ID proofs

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Chennai, Feb. 24: At least three of the five suspected bank robbers shot dead in Chennai yesterday could have had fake ID proofs, police said on a day the national rights panel sought an explanation on the alleged encounter.

Four Voter ID cards with Bihar addresses were found in the house where they were killed. The fifth was a driving licence that mentioned a Howrah locality.

While no man by the name of Abhay Kumar Singh, as listed on the Howrah licence, was found to be living in the town near Calcutta, Bihar police said at least two of the four cards mentioning the state appeared fabricated.

Patna SSP Alok Kumar suggested the voter card used to identify one of the robbers as Chandrika Rai may be spurious. That was because a person by that name was alive and living in his village at Fatuha, near Patna. "Chandrika Rai is a driver."

Doubts also surfaced about the identity of the second person, Vinod Kumar Sah, the alleged gang leader. "A police team found that no one by the name of Vinod Kumar Sah has ever lived in that village," Kumar said.

Chennai's SRM University has also denied that Vinod was a former student, as police in the southern state had claimed yesterday on the basis of some papers found in the house.

Bihar police are in the process of verifying the papers of the two others, named identified by the cards as Harishkumar Ray and Vinay Prasad.

Chennai police chief J.K. Tripathy acknowledged the IDs could be doctored. "We released their names based on the four voter ID cards and one driving licence. They could be fakes. We have sent the photos from the cards and that of the deceased (from the mortuary) for possible leads."

Other officers in Chennai said the ID cards could have been faked to enable the gang to book train tickets and rent houses — the five stayed as tenants in the house where they were shot dead. The lack of bullet marks has raised doubts about whether it was an encounter, as the cops have claimed.

Another officer dubbed the shootout a "deterrent". "There are thousands of migrant workers and students here. Our state cannot be a stage for criminal activities by unscrupulous elements using the student and worker population as a convenient cover."

The migrant theory was also mentioned by Lenin Raghuvanshi, a Varanasi activist who filed the petition that led the National Human Rights Commission to seek an explanation on the alleged encounter. "Everywhere in the world there is a distrust and intolerance towards migrants. Only an inquiry can reveal the truth." The state crime branch is probing the alleged shootout.

India: Impunity in case of trafficked bonded labour from Chhatisgarh: a story of aam-jan (common people) in India

Dear Friends,

Peoples' Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) got information through an activist from Bilaspur, Chhatisgarh regarding pitiful condition of 56 bonded labours in Cholapur police station of Varanasi in India.

Case detail:

56 trafficked Bonded labours (9 child labours, 28 adult male labours and female labours and 19 dependent small childrens) are resident of District Bilaspur of Chattisgarh and they were sold by the broker to the brick kiln owner (the name of the owner is not disclosed due to the security measures) in Cholapur police station of Varanasi district.  

The brick kiln owner is influenced person and involved in making illicit liquor at brick kiln. In night brick kiln owner with his hooligans beat on the roof of the hut with the lathi & stick and pull hand out of the women from the hut.

Now these labours wants to return back to their home but they are unable due to the fencing and monitoring of the brick kiln owner and his guards. 

On 8 February, 2012 letter through email was sent to District Magistrate Varanasi, on 9 February, 2011 to Chairperson, National Human Rights Commission and on 11 February, 2012 to Chief Election Commissioner. The NHRC had considered the matter and depute a team to carryout spot enquiry.

The activist with the complaint went to meet District Magistrate, Varanasi but he was in meeting for election in Commissioner Office. After finishing of meeting activist show letter to ADM (Administration) and requested for the urgent action than he suggested meeting with Assistant Labour commissioner. The activist went to Labour office but no officer was sitting due to the election. But nothing happen till today. It highlights the double standard of Indian system for right to life with dignity for poor, dalit and tribal people.

Sample letter:

 

Dear,

………………………………………..

 

I want to bring in your kind attention towards the a matter of 56 trafficked Bonded labour (9 child labour, 28 adult male and female labour and 19 dependent small children) in Chaubeypur police station, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh of India.

 These labours are resident of District Bilaspur of Chattisgarh and they were sold by the broker to the brick kiln owner (the name of the owner is not disclosed due to the security measures) in Cholapur police station of Varanasi district.  

 The brick kiln owner is influenced person and does the non-statutory work of selling and making raw alcohol at brick kiln. In night brick kiln owner with his hooligans and beat on the roof of the hut with the lathi & stick and pull hand out of the women from the hut.

Now these labours wants to return back to their home but there are unable due to the fencing and monitoring of the brick kiln owner and his guard.  Immediately letter was sent to all concerned authority but after many days after election no appropriate action was taken by the concerned authorities.

Therefore it is an urgent request immediate steps to put an end to practice of contemporary form of slavery like bonded labour in the brick kiln factory and take appropriate action as mentioned in the judgement given by honorable Supreme Court Neeraja Chaudhary vs. Government of Madhya Pradesh (http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1012224/) and Bandhuwa Mukti Morcha vs. Government of India (http://indiankanoon.org/doc/572040/). Issue release certificate and register the case against brick kiln owner under the Bonded Labour Act, 1976 Government of Uttar Pradesh also open special schools in the brick kiln factories for their migrant children.

Salute to Grand Ma. This is the reason why, inspite of all hurdles, Indian democracy is able to give space to the people. Liberty is the pursuit of life and sense of ownership gives moral boost to accountability. Grand Ma has shown her accountability. Others should learn from her.

Under Threat In Nepal, Former U.N. Officials Seek Protection

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Inter Press Service

Facing implicit death threats from Nepal's ruling Maoist political party, two former U.N. officials based in Kathmandu have appealed to the United Nations for help and protection.

Kul Chandra Gautam, a former U.N. assistant secretary-general and a longstanding deputy executive director of the U.N. children's agency UNICEF, and Kanak Mani Dixit, a former press officer at the U.N.'s Department of Public Information (DPI) in New York and currently a senior Nepali journalist, have been declared 'people's enemies'.

A third individual under threat is Subodh Raj Pyakurel, executive director of Informal Services Sector (INSEC), the largest non- governmental human rights organisation in Nepal.

All three have been blacklisted in a cover story in the monthly magazine Lalrakshak published by the ruling Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-Maoist).

'We take this fatwa not just as targeting three specific individuals, but as a more emblematic case intended to frighten, intimidate and silence other dissenting critical voices that might challenge specific policies or practices of the Maoists,' Gautam told IPS.

A letter to Nepali Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, signed by all three individuals, says the cover story is 'an incitement to violence, and part of an all-out attack that is underway against a broad range of civil society actors from the districts in the capital, including journalists, lawyers and rights activists.'

Bhattarai has remained head of the coalition government since August last year.

The goal is across-the-board intimidation, reflecting the despotic perspective: 'Those who are not with us are against us, and our enemies are the enemies of the people,' the letter reads.

The three under threat have also written to all heads of diplomatic missions in Kathmandu and U.N. agencies, including the U.N. Resident Coordinator and the representative of the U.N. high commissioner for human rights.

Gautam told IPS the main opposition parties have raised the matter in Parliament and also referred to it in a joint statement they presented to the Maoist party last week.

'At a time when Nepal's peace process is still incomplete and the much delayed drafting of the new constitution is in limbo, these and other provocative statements and actions by the ruling party has created an atmosphere of intimidation and panic throughout the country,' it said.

One source told IPS that the chairman of the UCPN-Maoist, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, known as 'Prachanda', currently the most powerful political personality in the country, has been particularly offended by the repeated calls by Gautam, Dixit and Pyakurel urging him and his party to renounce the use of violence in politics.

More recently, Dahal also seems deeply offended by their critical questioning of his eagerness to lead an effort for the development of Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha, in what they say is a highly non-transparent and unorthodox manner.

In this context, Gautam said, serious questions have been raised about the appropriateness of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's reported plans to visit Nepal in March to co-chair, with Dahal, an international meeting for the development of Lumbini.

The people of Nepal and Buddhists all over the world are happy to know that the secretary-general has taken a special interest in the development of Lumbini, declared a World Heritage site by the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), he said.

The main rationale for U.N.'s involvement in Lumbini is to spread the culture of peace, not to condone the glorification of violence, said Gautam.

'If Ban Ki-moon were to consider co-chairing a meeting with Dahal, he must insist on the latter and his party to first officially renounce the use of violence as a method of political change in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations,' he added.

For the secretary-general of the UN to co-chair an international meeting with a political leader who has refused to renounce violence would be contrary to the spirit of the U.N. Charter, and to do so at a holy religious site would be a sacrilege insulting not just peace- loving Nepalis but followers of Buddhism around the world, he said.

On Wednesday, a spokesman for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva told IPS, 'We are concerned about the branding of these human rights defenders as 'the people's enemies' by a magazine affiliated with the ruling political party in Nepal.

'The government of Nepal has a duty to protect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all its citizens, particularly those of human rights defenders, who are frequently at greater personal risk because of their efforts to support human rights. At this critical stage of the peace process in Nepal, it is very important that the space for human rights defenders is not narrowed or threatened.

These repeated and frequent summons around elections, especially when cases have been stymied for years, have made many political observers suspicious. “We all know there is little judicial accountability and the big goons know how to use the judges really well,” says Lenin Raghuvanshi, one of the coordinators of UP Election Watch and the executive director of the Benares-based People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights. He knows this only too well because a clerk once offered him, in the presence of a judge, the chance of scheduling a court hearing at a lower court for just Rs 10!

मतदाताओं से अपील जनप्रतिनिधियों से करें सवाल

मतदाताओं से अपील जनप्रतिनिधियों से करें सवाल

मतदाता जागरूकता अभियान के तहत

                सच्चर कमेटी में बयां की गयी मुसलमानों की जमीनी हकीकत को देखना है तो बनारस के सुविधा सम्पन्न रिहायशी इलाके के  बीच बचे बजरडीहा जाना चाहिये। बजरडीहा जाने पर साफ पता चलता है कि मुसलमानों की स्थिति अनुसूचित जाति से भी बदत्तर है।

                इस क्षेत्र की अस्सी प्रतिशत आबादी मुस्लिम है और विश्व प्रसिद्ध साड़ी बिनकारी उससे जुड़े विभिन्न कामों-रंगाई, डिजाइन बनाना, पत्ता काटना, तानी तानने आदि से अपनी रोजी रोटी कमा रहे है। इस क्षेत्र की सवा लाख की आबादी में सत्ताईस हजार वोटर है। क्षेत्र की हालात देखकर मालूम होता है कि किसी राजनीतिक पार्टी के लिये ये वोटर कोई महत्व नहीं रखते। वर्षो से इस इलाके की सूरत में कोई बदलाव नहीं आया है। जीवन की बुनियादी सुविधाओं की पहुच से दूर यहां के वाशिंदे दोयम दर्जे का जीवन जीने को मजबूत है।

                पिछले साल बारिश के महिने में हुए जल जमाव से अब भी पूरी तरह पानी निकासी नहीं करायी जा सकी। कुछ एक क्षेत्रों में प्रशासन ने पानी निकासी का काम कर अपनी जिम्मेदारी से मुक्ति पा लिया। जो परिवार थोड़ा बहुत पैसा खर्च कर सकते है, उन्होंने खुद से किराया देकर अपने घर के आस-पास से पानी निकलवाया जो पैसा खर्च करने की स्थिति में नहीं थे। उनके घरों के सामने या आस-पास आज भी किचड़ युक्त पानी बुरी तरह से बजबजा रहा है। बदहाल शिवर व्यवस्था पर कई बार क्षेत्रीय नागरिकों व अखबारों ने ध्यान दिलाने की कोशिश की, लेकिन गलियों में मल और शिवर का पानी अब भी उफनाता देखा जा सकता है। क्षेत्र की गन्दगी का आलम देखकर प्रोफेसर रामाज्ञा सिंह की अगुवायी में काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय के छात्रों ने खुद अपने हाथों से गलियों में झाड़ू लगाकर प्रशासन और जनप्रतिनिधियों को उनकी जिम्मेदारी का एहसास कराया। जिसके बाद कुछ समय के लिए नगर निगम नीद से जागा। लेकिन थोड़े समय बाद स्थितियां फिर जस की तस हो गयी।

                हवा के बाद और भोजन से भी पहले जिन्दगी के लिये जरूरी पानी भी इस इलाके के लोगों को खरीदकर अपने रोज मर्रा की जिंदगी में उपयोग करना बड़ी मजबूरी है। यहा एक ही सरकारी स्वास्थ्य केन्द्र है। लेकिन वह भी डाक्टरों की मनमर्जी का मोहताज है। यह स्वास्थ्य केन्द्र कब खुलता है, कोई नही जानता है। इतनी बड़ी आबादी में एक ही प्राथमिक विद्यालय है। बच्चों की सेहत व पोषण के लिए आंगनबाडि़यां केवल कागजों में ही चलती है। इन केन्द्रों और उनसे मिलने वाली सुविधाओं के बारे में किसी को कोई जानकारी नही है। ऐसे में हम क्या उम्मीद करे कि ये सेवाएं औरतों और बच्चों को मिलती भी होगी। जहाँ बिनकारी उद्योग खुद अपनी खोती पहचान को बचाने के लिए जद्दोजहद में लगा है। ऐसे में महिलाओं व बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य और बच्चों की शिक्षा की क्या हालत होगी।

                2010 में होली के दिन पुलिस की गोली से घायल पीडि़त और मारे गए पीडि़त-परिवार आज तक न्याय की आस लगाए है। क्या जन प्रतिनिधि इस इलाके की बदहाली से अंजान है ? फिर क्यों सूरते-हाल में बदलाव नहीं है ? क्यों हर मुसलिम बाहुल्य मोहल्ला अपनी बेचारगी को रोता नजर आता है?

                आइए, इस चुनाव में जनप्रतिनिधियों से सवाल करें कि, कब तक शहर को दुनिया में पहचान देने वाले बुनकर इलाके (मुस्लिम बाहुल्य मुहल्ले) बदहाल और वहाँ के वाशिंदे बेबस और मजबूर रहेगें।

Poem

मनु


मैं नहीं चिढ़ता तुमसे



मैं जानता हूँ तुम्हारे जन्म की कहानी

तुम्हारी माता पर रीझे थे

... खुद उनके ही पिता

ब्रह्मा-शतरूपा का संयोग

संयोग नहीं था

पर तब कहाँ थी विवाह की कोई रीति

मैथुन निषेध का सिद्धांत तो

थी बाद की कोई घटना

जिसे हवा दिया

खुद तुमने भी



मनु,

स्त्री स्वतंत्र क्योंकर हो



जब नहीं था संस्कारों का बंधन

और दिखना था हमें पशुओं से अलग

तब ही तो कहा था तुमने

कुमारियों की रक्षा करे पिता

यौवना का पति

और वृद्धा का पुत्र

जब वस्तु नहीं कुछ ख़ास थी स्त्री

तब ही तो की तुमने

उसके स्वतंत्र न होने की घोषणा

और फिर अपने ही घर में

स्वतंत्र रहने लगी स्त्री



मनु,

क्यों मैं चिढूं तुमसे

जबकि करते हो तुम

खरीदी और हथियाई गई कन्या से

विवाह की निन्दा

हुंकारते हुए ..



मनु,

कहो याज्ञवल्क्य से कि माफ़ी मांगे

विवाद में हारने पर

गार्गी का सर फोड़ने की दी गयी धमकी उसकी

अस्वीकार है मुझे ...

Assault on RCT-partner in India

Assault on RCT-partner in India

Published 01.02.2012

Death threats against and assault on leader of RCT's Indian partnerorganization.

Lenin Raghuvanshi, founder and leader of RCT's Indian partnerorganization People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR), has been assaulted on his way back from an evening meeting in Varanasi. Lenin Raghuvanshi has a history of death threats and was knocked to the ground at beaten and kicked several times.

He has been treated at the hospital and is under the circumstances doing well.

PVCHR has worked with RCT since 2008. The organization works towards a democratic India in respect of human rights. The organization does advocacy work and works with campaigns to increase awareness at an international-, national- and at grass-root level. PVCHR works to educate communities about their human rights, and focuses especially on the rights of marginalized groups. They also work to prevent police torture, and to secure the right to food and education. PVCHR has developed a special capacity as a knowledge centre promoting testimonial therapy for psycho-social rehabilitation of torture survivors.

"I'm glad Lenin is okay, though shaken. Unfortunately this isn't the first time he has been assaulted", states Erik Wendt, RCT program manager for Asia.

"It's difficult know the exact motive, but as far as I'm informed it has to do with PVCHR being engaged in an election process in Varanasi".

इस माया, मुलायम की हालत तो देखो...

Published: February 02, 2012 19:20 IST | Duration: 2:58

पांच साल पहले एनडीटीवी ने वाराणसी से 20 किमी पिंडारा गांव जाकर माया और मुलायम नामक दो बच्चों की बेबसी दुनिया के सामने रखी थी। पांच साल बाद हम फिर उनका हाल जानने पहुंचे, तो पता चला कि उनकी जिंदगी में कुछ नहीं बदला है।

Mulayam, Maya namesakes fight malnutrition Sanket Upadhyay

Sunday, August 05, 2007 (Varanasi)  

The focal point of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati - icons of UP's two decade old caste based political setup - has been to bring backwards to the mainstream.

Ground reality, though, is starkly divorced from respective missions.

Raitara area of Pindra village is on the outskirts of Varanasi, barely 5 km from Varanasi's Baabatpur Airport.

It houses 35 families of the Musahar tribe, traditionally known for eating rats.

Among the last in the India's caste setup, people here spend up to five days without food. Even one can count the bones on a child's body.

But the real shock is something other than these stark realities.

Meet five-year old Maya and Mulayam. Unlike their political namesakes, they sit together. At 5 any attempt to make them walk makes them cry and they eventually crawl.

Mulayam Singh Yadav wanted to make UP Uttam Pradesh and Mayawati wants to make it Sarvottam Pradesh. But the irony lies right in this small village of Varanasi where the two namesakes of the two big state leaders suffer from grade four malnutrition.

If they are not given immediate medical assistance, we might not have them between us anymore.

Help needed

Mulayam weighs just 10 kilogrammes. Malnutrition has reduced his visibility to half, his left eye ball is swollen and he can't hear properly.

His medical examination reveals lack of proper food behind his retarded growth, something the family can't help.

Mulayam's mother Reshma, tells that only one meal is cooked in a day and that too only if there is an income above Rs 20.

"We are really troubled. He does not speak or either move, medication is on," said Reshmaa.

Maya's condition is no better. She weighs nine kilos and she is sixth of the seven children in her family.

Her health graph shows the need of desperate medical aid or she will die, but Maya has spent two days without food. Affording medicines is a luxury for her mother Jeeutaa.

Maya's father goes out in search of some job everyday but the caste divide places him so low on priority of the upper castes that quite often he returns empty hand.

"Sometimes we get Rs 20, sometimes Rs 30, sometimes Rs 40, now what can we get in Rs 40? What should I give these children to eat? There is a lot of problem. We also have to manage medicines," said Jeeotaa.

The Asian Human Rights Commission has issued a hunger alert on the internet for both the children seeking immediate medical intervention.

It so happened that these children are named after two of Uttar Pradesh's most powerful and influential Chief Ministers.

PVCHR, an independent body working for rights of the Musahars, claims that around 176 members of different backward tribes have died due to malnutrition in the last three years - around 40 per cent of them little children.

Musahars' low status in the caste hierarchy keeps them out of government food and employment schemes like ration cards, antyodaya cards and even help from the aanganwaadis.

One out of every three malnourished in the world is from India and 56 per cent of aadivasi children in the country are malnourished.

With many more Mulayam and Maya's representing this reality, it's a challenge too big for our country, which is on a mission to halve the presence of underweight in pre-school children by 2015 under the United Nations Millennium Development Goal.
