Greetings from PVCHR.
In the south Asia region, spate
of organised violence, police torture, discrimination, physical and
psychological attacks on religious minorities have emerged as a real threat for
the pluralist and secular democracies. Attacks on Hindu and Christian
communities in Pakistan and Bangladesh and targeting of Muslim and Christian
communities in India are being increasingly used as a political weapon by the
communal and fascist forces. In an attempt to strengthen the composite secular
culture and establish rule of law in the country, People’s Vigilance Committee
on Human Rights(PVCHR), Varanasi and Human Rights Law Network(HRLN), New Delhi
have documented over 1500 cases of human rights violations after comprehensive
fact finding exercises in the last 3 years with support of European Union and PVCHR. These
cases relate to police torture and communal violence which have affected the
minority Muslim community most in Uttar Pradesh. These organisations have
legally intervened in these cases and have prepared an analytical report based
on the facts and ground experiences during the course of action.
A video documentary titled
“Muslim & Police: A Perspective” has been prepared on the basis of
interactions for almost three months at the grass root level with the members
of Muslim community in various Muslim dominated districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Keeping in view the forthcoming
Lok Sabha elections in 2014, an interface is being organised with various
Members of Parliament and representatives of political parties from Uttar
Pradesh on the “International Human Rights defenders’ Day” and eve of “World
Human Rights Day”. Progressive citizens, Human Rights defenders and survivors of
Muslim community from various parts of Uttar Pradesh are participating in this
dialogue. The dialogue will commence with the screening of the video
documentary, “Muslim and Police: A perspective”. It will be followed by dinner
at the end.
Date: 9
December, 2013
Time: Evening 5
