Dear friends,
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has rece)ved information from Rongmei Lu Phuam (RLP) concerning the robbery and horrific gang rape of 40-year-old Phool Maya (name changed) on 22 March 2012 by four men, two of whom are Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) officers. It is possible the incident was masterminded by a fifth man, Sub-Inspector of Police, Mr Tiken Singh, who also likely supplied the small firearm used in the assault. Violence against women, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and a culture of impunity militate against the construction of a humane society.
To combat lawlessness requires the wholehearted and practical support of civil society and pressure on the government to create change. We urge you to write in to appeal to the relevant authorities today requesting for action to be taken against the men responsible for these crimes. By so doing, you express solidarity with the downtrodden in the India, trust in the judiciary to prevent and punish crime and faith that, someday, rule of law, democracy and peace may prevail in the Indian Republic.
