[Reader-list] Shameful Torture of 23 Muslims Prisoners on March 26-27 In Sabarmati Jail, Ahamedabad: A Report by Human Rights Activists

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Venu jee

While beating of any prisoner unnecessarily is certainly deplorable, one
should be careful to put up the subject as well. The article says that 22
prisoners are there, and most of them are Muslim. While the subject claims
there are 23 Muslims. With the kind of nation and the kind of people on this
forum, there would be huge debate and problems. Hence, I request you to
kindly put up correct info as the subject.

Secondly, while Muslims may be mistreated, that should not be the larger
issue. The larger issues here are:

1) Are Muslims mistreated because of their religion? Or is it the case with
every prisoner irrespective of their religion?

2) If the former is the case, what are the biased opinions of the jail
staff? If the latter is the case, then what are the opinions of the jail
staff? In other words, why are they mistreated?

3) Last but not the least, what has been done to check such abuses?

Regards

Rakesh
