Bhotmange
Massacre in Maharashtra
(CC November 2006)
CAMPAIGN
Can the Kherlanji massacre become a test case
for the struggle for justice?
While the local media began its coverage of this
incident from the first week of October itself, apart from the
DNA newspaper published from Mumbai, the rest of the ‘national’
media awoke to the event only after a peaceful dharna was held by
activists in November. As we go to press today, the real challenge
is whether this incident of brutal mass murder in a relatively
remote area can generate national outrage the way the Jessica Lal
case or the Priyadarshini Mattoo case has.
Meanwhile, CC asks its readers to participate
in a campaign to demand justice for the victims in Kherlanji. The
campaign demands:
--
A CBI probe into the Kherlanji massacre.
-- A special court with a
time-bound schedule to conduct a
day-to-day trial to prosecute the guilty.
-- Serious witness
protection to be provided by central forces.
-- Criminal prosecution of
the policemen and doctors responsible
for
suppression of the incident.
-- A campaign against the
suppression of protests against the
incident
by the Maharashtra government.
