Editorial : HUMAN ORGANS FOR SALE

- An appeal to honourable chief justice of india

In India, as per law the ownership of the living physical bodies of human beings lies with the government of India. The person / human being doesn’t have any right over his own physical body. The government is the owner, GOI is in the position of a trustee / guardian of all human beings within Indian territory.

The role of a trustee / guardian of a property is not just to enjoy the profits , is not just to have a right over the property but to safeguard , up-keep & maintain the said property till it is passed on to the final beneficiary. In this case , the collective human beings in India constitute the HUMAN CAPITAL of India. The GOI is the trustee of this human capital and is duty bound to pass on this safely to the final beneficiary ie GOI itself.

The trustee must safeguard the trusted property & maintain it , instead if he joins his hands with the criminals , vandalisers & destroys the said property , the trustee looses all his moral & legal rights over the property.

The GOI instead of protecting the human rights , fundamental rights , protecting & up-keeping the health of it’s human capital has failed to provide even basic necessities of a living being. On the contrary , GOI has joined hands with criminals & snatched away remnants of life sustenance from the human capital. In India , GOI has teamed up with criminals - police who falsely implicate & kill innocents using 3rd degree torture , manufacturers of adulterated / harmful food products who slowly disable & kill innocent consumers , manufacturers of fake medicines who slowly disable & kill innocent patients , the govt officials who siphon-off food grains meant for FOOD FOR WORK programme , the govt doctors who siphon-off free medicines meant for poor , etc

As a result , millions of people in India barely survive on a single piece meal per day , millions lack access to potable drinking water & health care , hundreds are dying due to starvation , mal-nutrition , food poisoning , wrong medication , etc. numerous innocent people are suffering 3rd degree torture in police stations & many are getting killed in lock-ups.

Even when these crimes are brought to the notice of GOI, instead of protecting , safe guarding the people , it neglects it’s duties & indirectly aid the criminals. Thereby , GOI has lost it’s moral & legal right over the physical bodies of living persons , GOI has lost it’s trusteeship.

In this backdrop , as a human being is left to fend for himself , to get out of his personal hardships a human being at his option can sell his own body’s organs or commit suicide or can ask a doctor to kill him on grounds of mercy. It will be just & legal , as GOI has failed in it’s duties as a trustee.

Hereby , HRW appeals to honourable supreme court of India , to order GOI & other state governments to perform it’s duties as a trustee of human capital or to declare the sale of human organs by the person himself , suicide & mercy killing as LEGAL.

JAI HIND. VANDE MATARAM.

Your’s sincerely,

AN APPEAL TO HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF VIETNAM

Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing to urge the immediate and unconditional release of prisoners of conscience Nguyen Vu Binh and Truong Quoc Huy.

These men have only exercised their legitimate right to freedom of expression through the Internet; Nguyen Vu Binh by communicating with others outside Viet Nam about human rights and corruption and Truong Quoc Huy by taking part in an Internet chat room and expressing support for other dissidents advocating political reform.

Your government has said many times that Vietnamese citizens have the right to freedom of expression. Arresting and imprisoning people like Nguyen Vu Binh and Truong Quoc Huy directly contradicts this.

I call on you to uphold the rights of all Vietnamese citizens to freedom of expression,and association, to release Nguyen Vu Binh and Truong Quoc Huy immediately and stop the harassment and arrest of countless others who have a valid and positive contribution to make towards the progress of Viet Nam.

Your’s sincerely,

NAGARAJ.M.R.

Guantánamo Bay - a human rights scandal

The unlawful detention of "enemy combatants" at the US Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba has now entered its fifth year. Hundreds of people of around 30 different nationalities remain held in effect in a legal black hole, many without access to any court, legal counsel or family visits. Many of them allege they have been subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Three detainees have died at the camp, after apparently comitting suicide. Others have gone on prolonged hunger strikes, being kept alive only through painful force feeding measures. Guantánamo Bay has become a symbol of injustice and abuse in the US administration’s "war on terror". It must be closed down.

United States of America Ending Guantánamo Bay detentions

When I hear US officials describe the suicides of three Muslim prisoners at Guantánamo Bay last Saturday as ‘asymmetric warfare’ and ‘a good PR move’, I know it’s time to close that camp – not just because of what it’s doing to the prisoners but because of how it is dehumanizing the American captors.

David Ignatius, Washington Post, 14 June 2006(1)

The continuing indefinite detention of some 460 people in Guantánamo remains a violation of international law, a distressing fact in their and their families’ lives, a stain upon the United States, and a contradiction of the US administration’s National Security Strategy, which takes the position that respect for the "non-negotiable demands of human dignity" is the route to security not an obstacle to it. Amnesty International deeply regrets that it took four years and required court action before the USA named the detainees held in Department of Defense custody in the base. The organization notes, however, that the numbers do not add up. The authorities released a list of 759 names of people held in Department of Defense custody at the base between January 2002 and 15 May 2006. However, three days later it stated that 287 detainees have been released or transferred from the base and "approximately 460" remain there, making a total of 747.(2) Amnesty International requests clarification as to why there is a difference of 12 detainees.(3) Indeed, many questions surrounding the Guantánamo detentions remain unanswered. For example:

  • Were there ever people held at the base who were not in Department of Defense custody, who have not shown up on the Pentagon’s list? For example, as already noted, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operated its own area at the Guantánamo facility. Did the CIA only ever interrogate those in Defense Department custody? Were there any detainees held in exclusive CIA custody, or perhaps later transferred from the CIA to the Department of Defense? The 2005 Schmidt/Furlow report into FBI allegations of abuse in Guantánamo said that it found no evidence of "ghost detainees" having been held at the base, but there is no indication that the CIA was included within the scope of the investigation.(4) In the earlier Church report, the CIA did not provide any information on its activities in Guantánamo, Afghanistan or at undisclosed locations.(5)
  • In addition to the inadequacy of investigations into alleged abuses by US personnel, to Amnesty International’s knowledge, none of the military investigations conducted to date has looked into allegations that detainees have been ill-treated by or with the involvement of agents of other countries while held in Guantánamo.(6) The US administration has never refuted allegations first raised by Amnesty International in May 2004 that agents of the Chinese government visited Guantánamo in September 2002 and participated in interrogations of ethnic Uighur detainees held there.(7) This allegation was again raised in federal court in 2005 and again the government did not refute it.(8) It is alleged that during the agents’ visit, the detainees were subjected to intimidation and threats(9), and to interrogation techniques such as environmental (temperature) manipulation, forced sitting for many hours, and sleep deprivation, some of which was on the instruction of the Chinese delegation. Similarly Omar Deghayes has claimed that he was twice interrogated by Libyan agents in Guantánamo, on 9 and 11 September 2004. He alleged that the US military authorities took him to an interrogation room with the air-conditioning on maximum and left him there for several hours, shackled and freezing cold. Eventually, at around midnight on 9 September 2004, four Libyan agents and three US personnel in civilian clothes entered the room. He said he was interrogated for around three hours by the Libyan agents, and again two days later. The agents allegedly made veiled threats of violence and death against him if he should ever be returned to Libya, and showed him pictures of severely beaten Libyan dissidents. Amnesty International has flight records showing that a Gulfstream V jet, registration N8068V (previously registered as N379P), flew direct from Tripoli in Libya to Guantánamo Bay the day before Omar Deghayes says he was first interrogated by the Libyan agents.(10) In another case, Ala Abdel Maqsud Muhammad Salim, an Egyptian national, has alleged that he was interrogated on a number of occasions in late 2004 by a delegation from Egypt. These Egyptian agents threatened him that he would be "disappeared" or subjected to other harm after he was returned to Egypt.(11) During these interrogations he alleges that he was subjected to cruel use of shackles and chains and to environmental (temperature) manipulation via the air conditioning.
  • The USA has not answered the question of how many children it has held in Afghanistan and Guantánamo. The authorities have apparently limited their definition of child to someone who is under 16, contradicting most international legal standards which hold that children are those who are under 18 years old and subject to particular protections.(12) Research suggests that there may have been at least 17 detainees who were taken to Guantánamo when they were under 18 years old.(13)

The latest questions to be raised in relation to the Guantánamo detainees surround the apparent suicides of three of them, Saudi nationals Mane’i bin Shaman bin Turki al-Habardi al-‘Otaybi and Yassar Talal ‘Abdullah Yahia al-Zahrani, who was reportedly 17 when he was taken into custody, and Yemeni national Salah ‘Ali ‘Abdullah Ahmed al-Salami. All three had previously participated in hunger-strikes and subjected to force feeding. All were held in a maximum security section of the detention camp. There are no records publicly available of the men’s Combatant Status Review Tribunals. Amnesty International is disturbed by the Guantánamo Commander’s description of the deaths as acts of "asymmetric warfare", by which he was tending to prejudge the outcome of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service investigation into the deaths.(14) Amnesty International believes that the military and the executive, as the authorities that have instigated and maintained a detention regime that has caused serious psychological suffering, and as they continue to rely on the war paradigm that they have used to justify rejection of fundamental human rights law and standards, will be unable to conduct the necessary investigation into the deaths and be seen by the outside world to have done so. Amnesty International reiterates its call for a full independent and impartial investigation into these deaths.(15) Amnesty International urges the President to rescind his 13 November 2001 Military Order establishing military commissions and authorizing detention without charge or trial. The organization notes that in its responses to the Committee Against Torture, the USA asserted that individuals detained by the Department of Defense in Afghanistan and at Guantánamo are now held pursuant to this Military Order. However, this is entirely contrary to what the administration argued in federal District Court in Rasul v. Bush, when the government categorically denied that any detainee was held under the Order, and asserted instead that they were held more generally under the President’s Commander-in-Chief powers. Amnesty International calls for precise clarification as to when the detainees, apart from the 15 who have been made eligible for trial by military commission (including 10 charged for trial), were made subject to the Military Order. Clearly, a government’s vague or shifting description of the legal basis for detentions is a cause for serious concern in relation to the need to protect detainees from arbitrary arrest and ill-treatment.

A framework for closing Guantánamo I’d like to end Guantánamo. I’d like it to be over with. One of the things we will do is we’ll send people back to their home countries.... There are some who need to be tried in U.S. courts. They’re cold-blooded killers…And yet, we believe there’s a – there ought to be a way forward in a court of law, and I’m waiting for the Supreme Court of the United States to determine the proper venue in which these people can be tried.

President George W. Bush, 21 June 2006(16)

In its 19 May 2006 conclusions, the Committee against Torture called for the closure of the Guantánamo detention camp. Following the reported suicides of the three detainees on 10 June 2006, five UN human rights experts reiterated their call for urgent closure of the facility.(17) It is these calls for closure of Guantánamo which have drawn a series of comments from President Bush and a number of officials in the US administration. Amnesty International was among the first to call for the closure of Guantánamo over a year ago and welcomes President Bush’s statement of 8 May 2006 in which he said that he would "very much like to end Guantánamo", and "to get people to a court". (18) The President noted that the US administration was waiting for the Supreme Court to rule in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld on the question of trials. Amnesty International stresses, however, that the President does not have to wait for the Supreme Court to rule. He can announce now that the Guantánamo detention facility will close and that all the detainees will either be charged and tried without further delay in a US court or released with full non-refoulement guarantees. While the possibility of Guantánamo’s closure is now publicly being entertained within the US administration, various officials have questioned how this end can be brought about, raising legitimate questions about public security on the one hand and the safety of the detainees on the other. Amnesty International notes that several officials have indicated that the administration is open to suggestions as to how to resolve the Guantánamo situation. On 4 May, for example, John Bellinger said that the USA would "welcome the assistance of the international community" on this issue.(19) Earlier, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said of the continuing detentions at Guantánamo, that "if someone has a better idea, I’d like to hear it".(20) In similar vein, on 4 May, Attorney General Gonzales said that "I hear some critics say we should close down Guantánamo and yet no one is willing to offer the United States an alternative."(21) On 21 May 2006, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that "We will be delighted when we can close down Guantánamo. Everybody wants to close down Guantánamo".(22) However, she asked those who have called for the closing of the detention camp – who include the United Nations Secretary General, the UN Committee Against Torture, the European Parliament and various European leaders and officials – to consider the security and human rights implications of releasing the detainees. Amnesty International does not claim that the closure of the Guantánamo detention facility is without its challenges. Yet the US government has the responsibility to meet this challenge. Amnesty International here details its recommendations for an alternative to continued detentions at Guantánamo. In brief, those held in the base should be released unless they are to be charged and tried in accordance with international standards of fair trial. No detainees who are released should be forcibly sent to their country of origin or other countries where they may face serious human rights abuses. Indeed, it is crucial that emptying and closing down the Guantánamo camp not result in a transfer of the human rights violations elsewhere. In more detail, the organization recommends the following framework for determining what should happen to the detainees who are still held there. General 1. Any detention facility which is used to hold persons beyond the protection of international human rights and humanitarian law should be closed. The detention camp at Guantánamo Bay Naval Base falls into this category, and in more than four years of detention operations there, the US administration has failed to bring the facility into compliance with international law and standards. 2. Closing Guantánamo must not result in the transfer of the human rights violations elsewhere. All detainees in US custody must be treated in accordance with international human rights standards, and, where relevant, international humanitarian law. All US detention centres must be open to appropriate external scrutiny, in particular that of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). 3. The responsibility for finding a solution for the detainees held in Guantánamo rests first and foremost with the USA. The US administration created the system of detention Guantánamo in which detainees – many of whom were transferred to the facility unlawfully – have been held without charge or trial, outside the framework of international law and without the possibility of full recourse to US courts. It is therefore the US administration’s responsibility to redress this situation in full compliance with international human rights standards. 4. All US officials in the administration should desist from further undermining the presumption of innocence in relation to the Guantánamo detainees. The continued commentary on their presumed guilt applies a dangerous label to them – dangerous to the prospect for a fair trial and dangerous to the safety of any detainee who is released. This can only make the USA’s task of resolving the Guantánamo issue more difficult. 5. Those currently held in Guantánamo should be released unless they are to be charged and tried in accordance with international standards of fair trial. 6. No detainees who are released should be forcibly sent to their country of origin or other countries where they may face serious human rights abuses. Fair trials 7. Those to be charged and tried must be charged with a recognizable crime under law and tried before an independent and impartial tribunal, such as a US federal court, in full accordance with international standards of fair trial. There should be no recourse to the death penalty. 8. Any evidence obtained under torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment should not be admissible. In light of the years of legal, physical and mental abuse to which detainees held in Guantánamo have been subjected, any trials must scrupulously respect international standards of fairness and any sentencing take into account the length and conditions of detention in Guantánamo or elsewhere prior to be transported to Guantánamo. 9. President George W. Bush should rescind his 13 November 2001 Military Order establishing military commissions and authorizing detention without charge or trial. The military commissions do not afford proper safeguards for a fair trial. They are not independent, the procedures before them do not secure a fair process (eg statements extracted under cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment may be used as evidence), the defendant may be excluded from hearing all of the evidence against him and, under the Detainee Treatment Act, there is only a limited right of appeal against their sentences to a court of law. Solutions for those to be released 10. There must be a fair and transparent process to assess the cases of each of the detainees who is to be released, in order to establish whether they can return safely to their country of origin or whether another solution ought to be found. In all cases detainees must be individually assessed, be properly represented by their lawyers and given a full opportunity to express their views. Relevant international agencies, such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), could be invited to assist in this task, in line with their respective mandates. The options before the US Administration to deal in a manner which fully respects the rights of detainees who are not to be tried and who therefore ought to be released without further delay include the following:

(a) Return. The US authorities should return released detainees to their country of origin or habitual residence unless they are at risk of grave human rights violations, including prolonged arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, unfair trial, torture or other ill-treatment, extrajudicial executions, or the death penalty. Among those to be returned are all those who according to the laws of war (Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols) should have been recognized after their capture as prisoners of war, and then released at the end of the international armed conflict in Afghanistan, unless they are to be tried for war crimes or other serious human rights abuses. (b) Asylum in the USA. The US authorities should provide released detainees with the opportunity to apply for asylum in the USA if they so wish, and recognize them as refugees if they meet the requirements of the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees (well-founded fear of persecution on certain grounds if returned to their country of origin). The US authorities must ensure that any asylum applicants have access to proper legal advice and to fair and effective procedures that are in compliance with international refugee law and standards, including the opportunity to contact UNHCR. Asylum applicants should not be detained except in the most exceptional circumstances. (c) Other forms of protection in the USA. Persons who do not meet the criteria of the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees, but are at risk of grave human rights abuses in the prospective country of return and wish to remain in the USA must receive other forms of protection and should be allowed to stay in the USA. They should not be detained, unless it is established that their detention is lawful, necessary and proportionate to the objective to be achieved, in accordance with international human rights law and standards. (d) Transfer to third countries. The US authorities may seek durable solutions in third countries for those who cannot be returned to their countries of origin or habitual residence, because they would be at risk of grave human rights abuses, and who do not wish to remain in the USA. Any such solution should address the protection needs of the individuals, respect their human rights and take into account their views. All transfers to third countries should be with the informed consent of the individuals concerned. UNHCR should be allowed to assist in such a process, in accordance with its mandate and policies. Released detainees should not be subjected to any pressures and restrictions that may compel them to choose to resettle in a third country. Other countries should consider accepting released detainees voluntarily seeking resettlement there, especially countries of former habitual residence or countries where released detainees had close family or other ties.

Reparation 11. The USA has an obligation under international law to provide prompt and adequate reparation, including restitution, rehabilitation and fair and adequate financial compensation to released detainees for the period spent unlawfully detained and other violations that they may have suffered, such as torture or other ill-treatment. (23) The right of victims to seek reparations in the US courts must not be limited. Transparency pending closure 12. The US authorities should invite the five UN experts – four Special Rapporteurs and the Chairperson of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention – to visit Guantánamo without the restrictions that led them to turn down the USA’s previous invitation. There should be no restrictions on the experts’ ability to talk privately with detainees.

accountability of indian public servants

HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH'S – Weekly newspaper on web Spreading the light of humanity & freedom Editor : nagaraj.M.R.................vol.2 issue.33...................... 28/10/2006 EDITORIAL : PEACE, NON-VIOLENCE THE NEED OF THE HOUR Just yesterday ie on 27/10/2006 wee hours , in the peaceful city of mysore terrorists were gunned down. the basic reason for rise in criminal activities is the rampant corruption in all wings of government & the catalyst for this corruption is greed , selfishness of officials. the indifferent attitude of the public towards corruption is the reason for lack of accountability on the part of public servants. HRW has utmost respect for all institutions & all public servants , individuals. this is an effort by the HRW to bring to book the corrupt few among the public servants and an appeal to the honest public servants to bring to book their corrupt colleagues. The terrorist attacks, naxalite attacks, bomb blasts have become rampant all over the world. recently srilankan foreign minister was assassinated. When there is going to be an end to this cycle of violence ? the problem of naxalism, terrorrism , is a direct result of moral decay, fall of personal integrity, break-up of social fabric in the society. All over the world with rapid strides in scientific advancements , the life styles of human beings has witnessed sea changes. Human being by nature is greedy , selfish & wants more & more comforts , luxuries for himself. The nature has given us – the human beings enough resources to live happily, if shared equally & to live in harmony. However the gross resources in a society doesn't increase with the greed of some people. The greedy people want more than their share, legitimate share of natural resources, for their selfish objectives. The people in power, amass more resources through illegal, inhuman means which rightfully belongs to others. This creates a chasm, at one side few greedy, inhuman , corrupt super rich people, at the other side millions of hungry people even lacking basic necessities. As per darwin's theory it is the jungle rule " SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST". These poor people struggle together to get back their rightful share of resources. This objective is good when carried out in a legal, peaceful, non-violent way. At this juncture, the so-called leaders with selfish objectives become leaders & takes them for a ride on the violent path.. even after years of violent struggles, the lives of these poor people has not changed where as the leaders have become super rich. It is the same story every where, the names differrent. In some countries, after violent struggles the terrorist leaders themselves have become president / prime minister of new independent countries. However the lives of people are today more miserable than previously, their new leaders more corrupt than those ousted. The cause lack of honesty, integrity, humaneness in the new leaders. Hypothetically, if the leader is humane, honest, empathetic, any type of governance is good. However in practice nobody is so. That is why in relative terms democracy is the best form of governance. Just remember, how a loin cloth clad mahatma gandhi fought against the mighty british empire. Gandhi didn't even fire a single gun shot, he didn't have money power. Still he won independence for us – indians. Now see H.E. dalai lama , head of state , tibet, inspite of being driven out of his kingdom by chinese army, he is doing peaceful dialogue with them. No violence at all. His followers do protest against the injustices meated out by chinese ,not through guns or bombs but through silent processions. SEE THE FOOLOWING CYCLE OF VIOLENCE : Selfishness-injustice-crimes-violence-violence-violence-total destruction-all round sufferring At the end nobody wins, nobody wins as in fables. It is destruction , sufferring every where. The people must struggle for their survival against the corrupt leaders, public servants in a peaceful legal manner only. the following vedic hymn sums up the whole issue, O'god Take us from ignorance to enlightenment Take us from darkness to light Take us from death to eternity Let there be peace peace harmony every where. Jai hind. Vande mataram. Your's sincerely, Nagaraj.m.r. C.B.I COVERING UP THEFTS IN R.B.I - Lie detector tests for C.B.I officers ? Nowadays even free e-mail accounts need password to operate, to operate a bank locker there are multi level security settings. However , it is ridiculous, unbelievable to note that in the high security reserve bank of india currency note press mysore, there were no different key sets , palm readers, pass words, no different authorised persons, no troops of security guards, to access the area. Just only one security guard- a constable. It is a cock & bull story of C.B.I, that all alone a single security guard stole the booty. There must be a crime syndicate. The C.B.I officers themselves must be subjected to polygraph, brain mapping tests to know why they are lying , to cover- up whom? The C.B.I has not answered previous questions raised by HRW. The C.B.I must answer the following questions : 1. who were responsible for selling the good printing machine at security press nasik to scamster karim lala telgi as scrap ? 2. who recruited the candidates below merit rankings in R.B.I for what criminal roles ? 3. how many irregularities have taken place in R.B.I till date ? 4. who is responsible for installing, operating & supervising the security set-up in R.B.I ? 5. how the raw materials ie number of paper sheets, ink, etc are accounted for in inward stores & while issuing for printing ? 6. how wastages, scrap of ink , papers , etc in the printing process are accounted for? 7. How the finished goods ie currency notes are accounted for ? 8. Who keeps physical figures & possession of goods, inventory of all the above? 9. How the scrap paper is disposed off ? 10. From security angle who keeps track from start till dispatch ? QUESTIONS FOR MONEY – PARLIAMENTARY ACTS/LEGISLATIONS FOR ???? -improper functioning of democracy in india the vohra committee report has proved the criminalisation of politics in india. There are many number of criminals in the parliament & state legislatures. Some of those criminals are cabinet ministers as well as members of vital parliamentary committees. Thereby, they are in a position to manipulate , enact laws favouring , benefitting the criminals their cronies. Just see how the GOI gave export incentive of Rs.1800 crore to reliance petroleum although it didn't even export a barrel. Reliance infocom & tata teleservices were CDMA mobile service providers & have paid license fee of few crores only equal to landline fees without any competitive bidding . They were supposed to provide mobile service to operate like fixed phones within a radius of 40k.m. however they were providing service like mobile service from one state to another like GSM mobile service providers. By this act of RIC & TTSL , the GSM providers who have paid thousands of license fee in competitive bidding were economically hurt , the dispute went to court. The court was on the verge of pronouncing it's verdict awarding damages worth Rs.18000 crore to GSM players & Rs. 3000 crore of license fees with penalty to GOI. The government announced a unified telecom license regime with retrospective effect. Thereby, the GOI lost thousands of crores of rupees & the share holders of GSM players lost thousands of crores. Onceagain the RIC was charged by PSU bsnl THAT RELIANCE IS RE-ROUTING INTERNATIONAL CALLS AS LOCAL CALLS & SWINDLING THE GOI. This time too, GOI bailed it out. during the dispute between ambani brothers the younger ambani mr. Anil ambani director of reliance himself has stated that for the favours received from the GOI , the company gifted some shares to then IT & COMMUNICATIONS MINISTER mr.Pramod mahajan. Various indian & multinational companies are lootingindian exchequer to the tune of thousands of crores of rupees , through lobbying / bribing. In india, indirect democracy is the form of governance. In this form, people's representatives are bound to raise the questions , issues concerning their constituents on their behalf , on the floor of the house. However the sad part in india even after 58 years of democracy , is the lobbying is at it's peak. The lobbying is a gentleman's white collared crook's way of forming favour seeker's group , creating a corpus to pay lumpsum bribe & influencing decision making. The people's representatives are bound to represent their people first , then their party & party think tanks. India has come to this sorry state of affairs , widespread corruption , huge black economy & rampant poverty, all due to inefficient legislations & enforcements. These think tanks & IAS lobby, consider themselves as most super brains on earth & gives out suggestions . the present state of affairs is a barometer of their brilliance. These think tanks & IAS lobby are the hand maidens of lobbyists / bribers. Now consider the following example : Mr.raj gandhi is a member of parliament from mandya constituency in karnataka state. He is a MBA graduate & member of ruling indian progressive party. The multinational giant M/S GREY HOUND CORPORATION wants to enter into paper manufacturing business in india. It's sight falls on the public sector paper giant mandya national paper mills ( MNPM) in mandya district of karnataka. The MNC effectively lobbies with the government. The ruling party think tank & the cabinet advisory group recommends to the government to make strategic disinvestment in the PSU M/S MNPM. They bring out graph with full power point presentation stating that it is good for the company as well as the government. The lobbyists follows it up with media reports on the positive aspect of strategic disinvestment. A favourable impression is created in the minds of literate public. The cabinet committee okays it. The " strategic dis investment issue " comes before the parliament for legislation / approval. The ruling party issues a party whip to it's members to vote in favour of dis investment. However M.P mr.raj gandhi who is an MBA in his own wisdom also favours the dis investment. However ,most importantly the constituents – people in mandya parliamentary constituency through protest marches , mass post card campaigns lakhs in numbers expresses their disagreement with the dis investment & urges their MP mr.gandhi to vote against the disinvestment legislation. On the D-day in parliament , mr. Raj gandhi as per his party whip & his own wisdom votes in favour of strategic disinvestment legislation, much against the wishes of his people , constituents & mis represents them in parliament. the democracy has failed here. in This way democracy is being derailed since 58 years in india. In democracy, party whip , MP or MLA's own wisdom / brilliance, think tank & IAS lobby recommendations are all secondary , the constituent's of his constituency , people's wishes aspirations are of primary importance & supreme. What people need is a honest representative, whosimply delivers the people's aspirations on the floor of the house back & forth , without superimposing it with his own ideas & party ideas. For true democracy , the people's representatives must be true postmans. Towards this end , the people must be educated about their democratic rights & responsibilities. This is an appeal to the honest few in the parliament & state legislatures to weed out their corrupt colleagues , lobbyists, to uphold the dignity of the house & to install democracy in it's true form. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF SOME CORRUPT INDIAN JUDGES ??? In the past there were media reports about judges selling judicial orders like bail , acquittal , warrant , etc for a price. We have read about judges lifting furnitures from govt bungalow , judges attempting to rape a victim for giving favourable judgement , judge involved in murder attempt , judge cleaning his official chamber with ganga water as it was previously occupied by a judge belonging to backward caste , judge misusing medical reimbursement allowance , judge filing fase affidavit , newly appointed women judges paying back for the favours received in an immoral manner to the selectors ie high court judges , etc. Indian judiciary is no better than outside civil society , it is just a reflection of it. It is rotten & corrupt. When ever a voice is raised against the corrupt judges that is silenced by contempt proceedings. Right from munsiff Judges , quasi-judicial officers like magistrates , to the apex court corruption is wide spread. Some of them are utterly wealthy & leading luxurious lifestyles much beyond the scope of their legal income. HRW has brought to the notice of apex court, numerous cases of crimes by rich & mighty . no reply from apex court. HRW editor himself has suffered numerous fundamental & human rights violations perpetrated by rich & mighty to silence him . HRW has appealed about that too to the apex court , no reply. HRW editor was not permitted to appear before JAIN COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY & the court , probing late P.M.Rajiv gandhi assassination case , as an amicus curie. As a result of raising his voice against injustices , HRW editor was beaten up & attempts to murder him were made , his newspaper publications were closed , his home page was hacked , free web blog services were abruptly stopped , government jobs he was eligible to on merit - were denied to him by manipulation. HRW & his family were threatened of false fix-ups in cases , 3rd degree torture by police. Inspite of bringing all these issues to the notice of apex court – there is no reply nor any action. Police are not registering my complaints about this issue nor legal services authority are giving legal aid to me , about these issues. It proves some officials in the apex court are hand in glove with the criminal nexus. WHAT IS THE PRICE TAKEN BY SUCH JUDGES FROM CRIMINALS , FOR KEEPING MUM ??? HRW has utmost respect for the judiciary. There are few honest judges in the judiciary by whom only the wheel of democracy is turning in india , we salute those honest few. This is an appeal to bring to book criminals in the garb of judges, who are hiding behind legal immunity privileges & making money. I , HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH'S Editor nagaraj.M.R. hereby do offer my services ( subject to conditions ) in bringing to book the corrupt elements in judiciary. Are you ready honourable chief justice of india sir ? LAW GUARDIANS THEMSELVES ARE LAW BREAKERS - POLICE TURNING INTO ROBBERERS IN KARNATAKA In india corruption has spread it's tentacles far & wide. Recently karnataka lokayukta has arrested 5 top cops on charges of corruption . in raid he has unearthed crores of rupees worth propperties & cash. Nowadyas police play the role of a mediator in land disputes , property disputes , accident cases , etc. They don't book the cases as per law , instead they settle it through mediation & in some cases coerces innocents , poor people without backing to come to compromise with rich criminals. They threaten poor people with faslse fix-ups in cases , 3rd degree torture , etc , if they don't agree to compromise . without an alternative poor people agree to the forced down compromise formula. In the end , mediating cop gets a hefty commission from the rich criminal. The corrupt cops collect mamools from bar owners , transporters , etc to shield their illegal deals. Now as the mumbai encounter specialisty S.I. DAYA NAYAK's case is unfolding , it is becoming clear what he did as a S.I OF POLICE are not encounter deaths , cunningly planned & ruthlessly executed supari murders. Mr.daya nayak is not a encounter specialist but a hit man for the under world in uniform. Literally corrupt police are nothing but GOONDAS , ROWDIES IN UNIFORM. The corrupt habbits of corrupt police die hard. Even if they are posted to C.B.I , VIGILANCE , LOKAYUKTA , etc, they make money by passing on information about raid details. Thereby , they help the guilty to escape. Abiut this issue karnataka upalokayukta himself has expressed his heplessness . lokayukta police are on deputation from state police , lokayukta don't have any powers to take disciplinary action against his own subordinates , he can recommend it only to his mother organisation. What a paradox. Cops turning into thieves & the lokayukta police who are supposed to book corrupt themselves corrupt. The politicians in power simply make statements about giving more powers to lokayukta , on record they don't do any thing. As the corrupt officials are one of the sources of party funds & those corrupt officials themselves help corrupt politicians in doing corrupt deals & shielding it. H.D kumara swamy chief minister of karnataka has said "I want to send a strong message to government servants that stringent action will be taken against corrupt elements among them without fear or favour. We will empower the Lokayukta with more legal powers to continue its crackdown on all officials indulging in corrupt activities." The arrested police personnel are deputy superintendent of police (Bangalore rural) N. Krishnappa, Crime Branch inspector Shami-ur-Rahman, VVIP security inspector N. Narayanaswamy, Koramangala (south Bangalore) inspector Mir Arif Ali and Yeshwantpur (north Bangalore) inspector Shivanna. Lokayukta chief N. Venkatachalaiah said: "It is not about the quantum of money or properties seized but the rot that has set in the system. If lawmakers turn into law breakers, how can people have confidence in them?" However these corrupt people pay a part of the looted booty to their superiors & political masters , as a result in the end nothing happens out of enquiries or investigations. At the most these guilty person are transferred to another fertile location away from the eyes of people to make more money. in some cases even the guilty corrupt officers are promoted. The fate of over 100 reports of the Karnataka Lokayukta against government servants, facing charges of corruption, is hanging in the balance with the Karnataka High Court declaring that Lokayukta will not inherit the powers of Upalokayukta to take suo motu action, when Upalokayukta's post is vacant. Further, the future of about 1,000 cases being investigated by the Lokayukta has also become uncertain as in all these cases the Lokayukta had exercised the suo motu power available only to the Upalokayukta under the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, 1984. The Lokayukta had invoked suo motu powers and initiated action on complaints against government servants as the State government had failed to appoint Upalokayukta. The post is vacant since April 2002. The Karnataka High Court, in the case between Prof S N Hegde, former vice-chancellor of Mysore University and the Karnataka Lokayukta, has declared that Lokayukta had no jurisdiction to discharge the functions of Upalokayukta when "no Upalokayukta is appointed". The High Court had also clarified that the Lokayukta can carry out functions of Upalokayukta only when Upalokayukta is unable to discharge his duties due to "absence, illness or any other causes". However, the Lokayukta was empowered to investigate a case, not defined under the Act, if the Government refers the case to the Lokayukta through a notification, according High Court's observation. But the State government, except in a few cases, has neither referred the complaints to the Lokayukta through a special notification nor appointed Upalokayukta so that it can inquire into these complaints. With this, it is clear that in all these cases Lokayukta acted without jurisdiction as government had not referred most of the complaints to Lokayukta when post of Upalokayukta is vacant, said a senior advocate. In the light of the above observations by the High Court to the most of the cases investigated by the Lokayukta while exercising the powers of Upalokayukta would mean that all the action taken by the Lokayukta would become void ab-initio (not legally binding), observed an advocate. However, the benefit of these judgement would available to the government servants only when they question Lokayukta's action before the High Court, said an official of the Law Department. "Inaction on the part of the Government in appointing Upalokayukta has seriously affected the painstaking investigations done by the Lokayukta", said a police officer attached to Lokayukta police wing. Meanwhile, realising the impact of the High Court order, the State government, apart from preferring an appeal against this verdict before a larger bench, has initiated the measures to clothe the Lokayukta with suo motu powers. According sources, the government was also studying the possibility of giving suo motu powers with retrospective effect so that the reports already submitted by the Lokayukta and the cases under investigation would not become invalid following High Court's verdict. Lokayukta Justice N Venkatachala and State Advocate General A N Jayaram said that they have decided to challenge this judgement of single judge bench before a division of the High Court. However all is not last , there are few sincere hard working police officers in the state police , there are sincere public servants like lokayukta & upa lokayukta , let all of us support them. India will be a corruption free country. APPEALS TO HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA APPEAL NO.1 Dear SIR , INDIA: An innocent person tortured by the Kerala state police Name of the victim: Mr. Wilson, aged about 42 years, son of William, residing at Atuparambil house, Mannuthy post, Thrissur district, Kerala state Alleged perpetrators: 1) Mr. Ramachandran, Circle Inspector of Police, Ollur Circle Office, Thrissur district, Kerala state 2) Mr. Radhakrishnan 3) Mr. Raphy 4) Mr. Jayan 5) Mr. Ansar 6) Mr. Gopalakrishnan [2 to 6 above are Police Constables stationed at Mannuthy Police Station, Thrissur District, Kerala state] 7. Mr. Chandran, District Superintendent of Police, SP's Office, Civil Station, Thrissur, Kerala Date of the incident: 9 October 2006 Place of Incident: Mannuthy police station, Thrissur district, Kerala I am writing to you to express my concern about the case of torture of Mr. Wilson, the victim named above on 9 October 2006 at Mannuthy police station, Thrissur district, Kerala. I am informed that Wilson who was taken into custody as a suspect in a murder case was brutally tortured at the police station by the police officers. It is shocking to know that the Circle Inspector of Police was himself assaulting the victim and that too under the directions of the District Superintendent of Police. It is alleged that Wilson was punched and slapped by the officers and that he was examined after being stripped in public at the police station by the police officers. It is also alleged that even though Wilson was set free the same day night he was forced to report at the police station for four days to sign some register. It is also alleged that the actual accused was later arrested and currently detained for trail. It is shocking to know that several cases of custodial deaths and torture are reported from police stations in Kerala. However, it is disheartening to know that the state government is doing nothing to prevent custodial torture. The state government has publicly announced that it does not tolerate custodial violence anymore. However, I am concerned that nothing is being done by the government to prevent custodial violence, other than publicly stating that it is neither a government policy nor an action which the government would tolerate. In these circumstances I urge you to take this case as one of the model cases where the perpetrators are punished in accordance with the existing law of the country. I also urge you to pressure the government of India to ratify the United Nations International convention against United Nations International Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and to come up with a domestic legislation to implement the convention in India. I also request you to pay interim compensation to Wilson pending further inquiry into the case. The police officers involved in this case must be punished, if they are found guilty of the offense. I am also informed that Wilson is willing to file a complaint at the local magistrate court and that he fears that the police will further torture him if they are informed that Wilson is taking steps to prosecute the officers involved in his case. I request you to take all necessary steps to ensure that the police officers involved in this case will not intimidate Wilson to force him to withdraw his case. Sincerely your's, NAGARAJ.M.R. APPEAL NO.2 Dear SIR , INDIA: Man tortured by Kodakara police in Kerala state looses his hearing Name of the victim: Mr. Sunil, aged about 25 years, son of Velayudhan, residing at Padinjarekunnathu house, Kodakara, Thrissur district, Kerala state Alleged perpetrators: Mr. Lohidakshan, Head Constable, Kodakara police station, Thrissur district, Kerala state and three other police constables attached with the Kodakara police station Date of the incident: 23 September 2006 Place of Incident: Kodakara police station, Thrissur district, Kerala state I am writing to you to express my concern about the case of torture of Mr. Sunil, the victim named above on 23 September 2006 at Kodakara police station, Thrissur district, Kerala. I am informed that Sunil who reported at the Kodakara police station was beaten and slapped by the police officer named above. It is also alleged that Sunil is likely to loose the hearing in his left ear from the assault. I am informed that the Head Constable who assaulted Sunil is currently under suspension. However, I am concerned whether there will ever be an impartial inquiry into Sunil's case. I am also aware that Justice Rajendra Babu Commission appointed by the state government is inquiring into this case. It is shocking to know that several cases of custodial deaths and torture were reported from police stations in Kerala in the recent past. However, it is disheartening to know that the state government is doing nothing to prevent custodial torture. The state government has publicly announced that it does not tolerate custodial violence anymore. However, I am concerned that nothing is being done by the government to prevent custodial violence, other than publicly stating that it is neither a government policy nor an action which the government would tolerate. In these circumstances I urge you to take this case as one of the model cases where the perpetrators are punished in accordance with the existing law of the country. I also urge you to pressure the government of India to ratify the United Nations International convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment and to come up with a domestic legislation to implement the convention in India. I also strongly request you to pay interim compensation to Sunil pending further inquiry into the case. The police officers involved in this case must be punished, if they are found guilty of the offense. Sincerely your's, NAGARAJ.M.R.

show-cause notices to public servants

HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH'S – Weekly newspaper on web Spreading the light of humanity & freedom Editor : nagaraj.m.r. vol.2 issue.32 21/10/2006 Editorial : FAILURE OF CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES BY H.E.PRESIDENT OF INDIA & HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA – SHOW CAUSE NOTICE In the democratic india , whenever a citizen suffers from injustice , violation of constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights / human rights he can appeal to the higher Authorities for justice , then to the next higher authority in the hierarchy . if it fails he can approach the police , courts of justice. Finally he can appeal to the first citizen of the country & supreme court of india . Now , corruption is more prevalent in police & judiciary. To my numerous appeals for justice , HRW's appeals for justice concerning public good , the public servants have failed to perform , the police have taken biased action & finally H.E.PRESIDENT OF INDIA , HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA are mum. They have failed to perform their constitutional duties. All the doors of justice are closed for me. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH has brought to the notice of government cases of rights violations , crimes , tax evasions by public servants & corporate bodies , it also offerred it's services in apprehending corporate criminals stealing crores of tax money. there was no response . the police & authorities are keen , over zealous in apprehending & prosecuting a pick-pcketer stealing Rs.10 , where as it cover-ups the crimes of corporate criminals stealing lakhs , crores of tax money. the government even rewards such corporate criminals with tax exemptions , subsidies , etc. Is it equitable justice ? true democracy of mahatma's vision ? This type of corrupt administration in india since independence has made the lives of commoners miserable and is the main driving force for the rise of NAXALISM , TERRORISM / SEPARATIST MOVEMENTS & UNDER WORLD. However violence is not the solution, violence breeds more violence & mahatma's democracy true swaraj cann't be set up on the basis of violence. When all the doors of justice are closed for a commonman ( sufferer of gross injustices ) without financial might or contacts , he has the following options : 1. to take law into his own hands & settle scores. But it is illegal although naturally justified . 2. to suffer more & more injustices conciling to the fact , ground reality that democracy in india is fake only a facade. 3. To committ suicide to runaway from all injustices. But that is illegal & cowardice. 4. To spread awareness among public about corruption in police , judiciary , public service & to kindle the light of crusade in them within legal democratic frame work although presently sufferring from gross injustices. All in the hope that tommorrow will be bright & sunny , with the dawn of mahatma gandhi's swaraj. Your excellency & your honourable sir , kindly tell me – tell the common people which way to take & answer the show-cause notice. JAI HIND. VANDE MATARAM. YOUR'S SINCERELY, NAGARAJ.M.R.
