தவறு செய்யாத அப்பாவிகளை ஆதாரமற்ற ஒரே ஒரு பொய் வழக்கு மூலம் உடனடியாக கைது செய்து சிறையில் அடைக்கின்ற அவலம் ஒருபுறம். அப்பாவிகளுக்கு எதிராக இழைக்கப்பட்ட அநீதிக்கு சரியான நீதி வழங்க பல ஆண்டுகள் (போபால் விஷவாயு சம்பவம், இன்னும் பல....) காலம் கடத்தும் அவலம் மறுபுறம்.
இது எங்குபோய் முடியும் என்று அந்த நீதிதேவதைக்கு மட்டும்தான் தெரியும்!
HYDERABAD: The All India Forgotten Women's Association (AIFWA) along with the All India Men's Welfare Association will stage a demonstration near the Women's Police Station at Basheerbagh on July 6 to pledge their support to the ‘Jail Bharo Andolan' taken up by Maharashtra's activist Ravindra Gangurde.
The movement, as well as the demonstration, will be in protest of ‘arbitrary arrests of ordinary law-abiding citizens' under IPC sections 498A, 304B, Dowry Prohibition Act and other related laws, said Uma Challa, president of All India Forgotten Women's Association, in a press conference here on Sunday.
‘Wife-centric'
Describing the aforementioned acts as ‘wife-centric', Ms. Challa said the arrests without evidence or investigation amounted to violation of rights to life and liberty.
Citing the National Human Rights Commission's observations, a memo issued by the Police Commissioner towards checking arbitrary arrests, and the web page titled ‘Abuse of 498A' on the Police Department's website, she said innocent citizens were nevertheless illegally detained, humiliated and subjected to blackmailing and extortion.
Plea to men
She urged men to free themselves from fear of humiliation and social stigma, and be prepared to court arrests and go to jails, so as to exert pressure on the authorities. The demonstration will be held between 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
