[Reader-list] human rights? why cry for a rapist?

[Sachin Agarwal]

Why are people clamouring about the death sentence to chatterjee in the name of human rights?
 
where were these people when the human rights of Hetal were violated? as if rape and murder of 14 year young girl is no violation of human rights.  at least a good precedent has been set by court. I am sure if 10 - 15 other death penalties happen (awarded by courts) in the years to come, there will be a considerable fear in the minds of rapists and women will also come forward to register complaints. the registering of complaints is at a dismal low at present.
 
and the nagpur incident. i fully support the action of women. 
 
when administration is deaf and justice is blind, civil society will find its own and newer means of retribution.
 
any body wants to locate any government agency. see www.nic.in u will find everyone from president to peon. alternatively try: www.sarkaritel.com

THE THEORY
---------------------------------------------------------------------

- Diversified, efficient societies need credible media.
- Inadequate reporting fails to effectively monitor and control
government (and various lobbies)
- Legislation on complex matters is likelyto turn out inadequate
unless media present sufficient background information and
provide an enlightening public debate. (Reinold E Thiel)
- High prices and poor business decisions are inevitable
consequences of inept market reporting (Jenny Luesby)
- If civic organisations are not perceived to be relevant, their
scope of action will be further reduced.

QUOTE UNQUOTE:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately journalists have a rather shabby reputation. They are
often accused of being sensationalist and superficial. Time
constraints are an important reason for this. Deadlines rarely leave
enough time to come up with a perfect product. It has always been like
this, but the pressure is constantly growing. Global networks mean
global data overload. Thanks to digital technology, press agencies
have dramatically increased their output, while political parties,
corporations and interest groups all produce more and more information
material....

Regarding the death sentenced, I agree, blood against blood is not a
solution, also we will be killer like him if we hang him. But I don't know
where to appeal and president's emails address, please guide us and we will
send the signatures and mails against hanging.

Sourav.
