Press Release

Requisition for Police Protection for Victims 
of Godhra Mass Arson Made

 

The Citizens of Justice and Peace has applied to the Ahmedabad Poice Commissioner,

Shri Kaushik, Commissioner of Police, Ahmedabad  with a requisition to provide immediate police protection to the families of Godhra victims who bravely deposed at a press conference in Mumbai yesterday.

 

The letter says “As you may be aware four families who’s near and dear ones were burnt alive in the S-6 Coach of the Sabarmati Express have approached us for legal assistance and help on grounds of intimidation by members of political organizations like the BJP and VHP who have prevented their depositions before the Shah-Nanavaty Commission. Our organization has decided to give them full legal aid and rehabilitation assistance. Hence we feel the responsibility to urge that the Gujarat police gives them full and adequate protection since the fear of intmidation and terror is real.

The details of the families are:
