A MEETING WAS ORGANISED BY VARIOUS GROUPS IN DELHI TODAY TO TAKE STOCK OF THE SITUATION IN TRILOKPURI. THE FOLLOWING PETITION HAS BEEN SENT TO THE Lieutenant Governor of Delhi & Police Commissioner, Delhi. ------------------------------------ To Lieutenant Governor of Delhi & Police Commissioner, Delhi October 26, 2014 We the undersigned and many other citizens of Delhi are deeply concerned about the role and steps taken by the police in the process of restoring communal peace and harmony, and ensuring legal justice, following the recent communal tensions in Trilok Puri, Delhi. We are worried by reports that many young men are being illegally detained for long periods, and political representatives of one segment of the young men are being permitted to enter the police stations, whereas other lawyers and senior activists are not being permitted to enter the police stations. Rightly or wrongly, this has created an impression of communal and political bias and a lack of fairness. This is not conducive to restoring peace in the area. We therefore demand that the local police are firmly instructed to function in ways that are transparent, bipartisan and fair. We further demand that all persons who are detained in connection with the violence are presented before a magistrate, and due and fair process of law not only followed but seen to be followed by all affected people. We further demand that medical tests are done of all injured persons, and that family members and lawyers are permitted to meet the detained persons.
