You will never imprison my mind

Hindu fascists and communal forces from other religions of Intelligence agencies, police, media, society and other civil society organizations in India want to destroy PVCHR and finish me & my family. Continuously they are trying to break me psychological and attacked few times physical. But I am remembering quote of Mahatama Gandhi, "You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

Promoting a Psycho-Legal Framework to Reduce Torture and Organized Violence in India

This final report contains the end-line evaluation findings of RCT and PVCHR's TOV program dubbed as Promoting a Psycho-Legal Framework to Reduce Torture and Organized Violence (TOV) in India.

The program’s over-all objective is ensuring strong and well-organized testimonial campaigns that contribute to eliminate impunity for perpetrators of torture in India. The program had developed the capacity of PVCHR as a knowledge centre that promotes the testimonial therapy for psychosocial rehabilitation of the torture survivors and advances advocacy for the prevention of torture. The program likewise utilized the testimonial therapy as a psycho-legal intervention implemented at the individual and community level for healing and empowerment. The testimonial therapy had served as a bridge between rehabilitation and advocacy in the fight against torture in India.

Dear Sir,

I want to bring in your kind attention towards the news published in Deccan Herald on 29th August, 2013 regarding dalit boy shot for delay in removing plates. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/353923/dalit-boy-shot-delay-removing.html

Dalit boy shot for delay in removing plates

Sanjay Pandey, Lucknow, Aug 28, 2013, DHNS:

Grave mistake

A slight delay in removing dirty plates cost an 11-year old Dalit his life in Uttar Pradesh's newly created Shamli district, about 400 km from here.

The shocking incident occurred at a “dhaba” (roadside eatery) in the district late on Monday night. According to police sources, the Dalit boy, identified as Neeraj, worked at the “dhaba” as a petty labourer, washing plates and serving customers. Neeraj's father was an unskilled worker at a small factory a few kilometres away from the eatery.

On Monday night, a customer, identified as Jagpal Singh, came to the “dhaba” and ordered food. Singh asked Neeraj to remove the dirty plates from the table at which he was sitting. Since Neeraj was busy in doing some other work, he could not immediately remove the plates.

Singh got angry after Neeraj failed to remove the plates despite being told several times. Irked over the delay, Singh went to Neeraj and started thrashing him. As the other workers at the “dhaba” came out in support of Neeraj, an angry Singh took out a country made pistol and fired at Neeraj.

According to sources, the bullet hit the boy in the stomach. He was rushed to hospital but was declared dead on arrival. A case of murder has been registered against Singh, who is absconding. The police said they have launched a manhunt to nab him.

A large number of children work at the roadside eateries in the state, despite child labour being illegal in the country. According to official records, the number of labourers between the age of five and 14 years in India is a whopping 1.26 crore in 2011. These children have to work under inhuman conditions, and are often exploited. They are paid very little by way of wages.

Therefore it is a kind request please take appropriate action at earliest. 

Thanking you

 

Sincerely yours

Lenin Raghuvanshi

The incident happened on the night of August 21 and the boy was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Government Rajaji Hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries to treat the stab wounds.

RELATED

MADURAI: A 15-year-old school going dalit boy was inflicted with multiple injuries on his face, for allegedly speaking to a non-dalit girl, aged 14, in Kumaram village near Madurai.

The incident happened on the night of August 21 and the boy was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Government Rajaji Hospital where he underwent multiple surgeries to treat the stab wounds. Even as the boy's father had lodged a police complaint against the girl's father who is absconding, the latter's family has lodged a counter complaint alleging sexual harassment by the boy.

"We have launched a hunt for the girl's father. We are yet to ascertain the veracity of the girl's complaint. Only after a thorough inquiry we would be able to find if the boy had harassed her. For now, the boy, undergoing treatment in the hospital has denied harassing the girl," a police officer said. SP V Balakrishnan had formed a special team to nab the girl's father M Mani, 45, and has ordered for a thorough inquiry on both the complaints.

Police said the boy , N Gokulakrishnan was standing on the outskirts of his native Kumaram village near Alanganallur on the night of August 21 and was taking to his uncle Manimaran and relative Bharathi when the girl's father, a non-dalit of the same village attacked him. Mani, who came to the spot pulled out a knife and started stabbing the boy on the face. "The boy suffered deep cuts on the face, wrist, shoulder and ear. His uncle and relative Bharathi rescued him and fled the place," police said.

Nagarajan in his complaint said that Mani had attempted to stab his son in the abdomen, but he wriggled and managed to escape the attack. As soon as Nagarajan lodged a complaint, the girl's family too lodged a complaint against the boy.

A Kathir, executive director of Evidence, an NGO that went on a fact-finding visit demanded that the accused be arrested immediately. "When we inquired the boy, he admitted that he spoke to the girl, but it was only mutual and not as being made out by her father," he said. Police said that they have registered a case under several Sections of IPC including attempt to murder as well as under SC/ ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Two days before the attack, Mani had visited the house of the 14-year-old boy and threatened him of dire consequences if he continued speaking to his daughter. Subsequently, the boy's relatives took the boy to Mani's house and explained that he was not harassing the girl. In spite of that, the boy was attacked, alleged the complaint.

Therefore it is a kind request please take appropriate action at earliest. 

Thanking you
