Custodial Deaths: A Call for Justice and Accountability

A powerful collective of writers, activists, and judges has joined forces to address the pressing issue of custodial deaths. They have written a letter to the Chief Minister, demanding the creation of a transparent and effective mechanism for handling these sensitive cases.

Demanding a Dedicated Mechanism

The letter emphasizes the urgent need for a dedicated system to investigate custodial deaths thoroughly and impartially. This mechanism, they argue, is crucial to ensure that those responsible for these tragedies are held accountable and that justice is served for the victims and their families.

Protecting Human Rights and Ensuring Justice

The group’s plea highlights the critical importance of protecting human rights and upholding the principles of justice. They argue that custodial deaths represent a grave violation of these fundamental rights and demand immediate action to prevent future occurrences and address the systemic issues that contribute to this problem.
