The Society For Protection of
Detenues and Prisoners Rights (SPDPR)
Respected Sir,
I would like to inform your SPDPR regarding the
13, Dec 2001, Parliament attack case, some facts as below:
1: After few days of my arrest at
Srinagar (Kashmir)bus Stand, I
was Forced under duress and threat by special-cell police (Delhi).
To present myself before media. This unwanted or unwilling media
presentation which was done at special police Station Delhi was
confirmed by one the interviewers or reporter of Aaj-Tak + v
Channel. When he was summoned by session court.
2: The session court systemically
silenced my voice by
a) Not providing me the advocate of my own choice
b) Not giving the recorded
statements of trial proceedings
c) The different Statements and objections raised by me were
never recorded by the Court, regarding the various
witnesses and their false statements against me.
3: I was represented by one human rights activist Colin
Gonzalves (Advocate) in High Court. I was shocked when I came
to know that from newspaper Indian Express that my advocate
has requested the court that Afzal wants that he should be killed
by lethal injection rather by hanging. When I contacted from high security ward of Tihar Jail to my
lawyer he neither came to meet
me nor informed me regarding this false request which I never
did.
4: In Supreme Court the lawyer of my co-accused brought the different
allegations concerned me to such an thresh-hold where natural justice fail to make out anything
for me.
Thus under these circumstances it is natural that I can get any
Justice. I hope that SDPDR will consider the above facts and
take up the cause.
Thank You
Your's sincerely
Mohammad Afzal Guru
