News about Justice International on Assam:
On 27 March 1998, at a Press Conference held at Strand Palace Hotel, London, by Justice International, Commission For Human Rights; Internationally respected Queens Counselor Mr. John Platts Mills with his British Colleague Barrister Sayyad MohiEdddeen, gave a vivid account after their recent visit to Assam on the dire human rights situation there. They expressed their horror of the savagery meted out to the common people by the Police, Paramilitary and the Army. In most of these cases, it has been reported that the law enforcing agencies ignore the legal safeguards against committing atrocities. The army even ignores ruling from the local High Court, putting themselves above the law of the land.
Degradation of humanity at its worst under Indian Authorities in Assam. Tortured to death victims being loaded on to a pyre made of scrap tyres refusing handing over the bodies to their families. They were later on burnt without giving them their last rites.
