BPCA Chairman Wilson Chowdhry recently visited Thailand to gain direct knowledge of the situation of Pakistani Christian refugees there.  The BPCA had been aware it is very bad and being there confirmed that reality.  He first went to an English speaking church in Bangkok led by Tim Eaddy, where he experienced a wonderful service in a vibrant, multi-racial church. He spoke to Tim Eaddy who reported that although a local group provided a little aid with rent arrears, as well as food, the need was still immense and the church is unable to cope.  The Pakistani Christians under his care need assistance to get into long-term accommodation.  He had been praying for  Western nations to help, since such Christians are living right on the edge, affecting their morale and health.  With the limited funds we had available BPCA helped a number of individuals, for instance we gave £100 to a lady so that her mother could have a heart operation.  The daughter had just been praying for assistance and a few days later, BPCA were able to step in and provide for this need.  Another family with a baby that Wilson met were down to their very last nappy and no money for more, or for their gas and electricity bills.  We covered the costs for their gas bill and bought close to 6 months supply of nappies.  We paid two months rent for another family and for two months of medication for epilepsy and diabetes.  We also supplied food packages for several families.

Because these Christians do not have refugee status, they are not allowed to work, and so have no legal income.  They rely on handouts and sporadic illegal work.  A lot of them have professional backgrounds - doctors, teachers, lawyers and the like.  They go to Thailand because it is the cheapest and easiest country for which to get a tourist visa. Selling all their goods they survive until everything they once had has been lost and then they start to beg or seek help from charities...

...Wilson also learned more about the precarious situation of Pakistani Christian asylum seekers in Thailand.  The government is getting tired of the huge numbers of refugees, so there is an ongoing police crackdown on 'illegal immigrants' such as these Pakistani Christians. Thailand, as we reported in an earlier article, has not signed up to the UNHCR convention over refugees and Wilson saw the evidence of the police raids including kicked in doors.  This has left the Christians absolutely terrified - they are even sometimes afraid to go out and buy food when they can afford it.  They can't afford to replace the locks, and, fearful of further raids, they get friends to padlock them in from the outside to give the appearance of  being empty, but given the likelihood of fire in these rough, slum-like buildings, they run the grave danger of being trapped and burnt alive.  In these waves of arrests over 400 Pakistani Christians were incarcerated.  If they are taken to an Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) then, if these impoverished Christians can pay 50,000 baht, about £1000, they can go free and then have a two year pardon period during which they won't be rearrested.  The conditions in the IDC are horrific with 150 locked into rooms meant for 100 with just one toilet between them.  They can only sleep either standing up, or crouching down.  There are still 21 Pakistani Christians in IDC, with a cost of over £20,000 to get them all out.  They are forced to wear orange uniforms, and their daily ration is a small amount of rice, and cucumber soup (boiled cucumber in plain water).  Papa Thongchai reports that they go in relatively healthy and come out having visibly lost significant amounts of weight and looking malnourished.  The stench is horrific and Wilson almost cried when he visited detainees.  They are not allowed out unless they are invited out by visitors, so when Wilson and the others visited, the detainees were overjoyed, but their smiles hid the desperation behind them.  This is a real humanitarian crisis, and although it was not much, due to our thin resources, each Pakistani Christian was given 100 baht and some food. Wilson said the pain was so great, he wondered which were better off, those who die on the journey, or those who made it here. Much focus has been put on the dangerous nature of the travel from countries with persecution by mainstream media - yet they have failed to grasp the horrors that face those who survive the journey.

Some who are arrested don't go to the IDC, but are taken to the Central jail where they are locked in with hardened criminals - rapists, murderers and the like.  The men are stripped naked, their heads are shaved and they are put in shackles that go around their feet and legs, and their arms and hands.  The women are not allowed to wear underwear and are forced to jump around to show they have smuggled nothing in internally, men are often in the same room jeering and ogling. The prisoners are fined £4 a day for every day they overstay, and can be rearrested at any time, despite paying these fines.  The children of these Pakistani Christian brothers and sisters are locked up with their parents in the Central jail.  Those with babies struggle especially, since although nappies and milk are made available, these are only for Thai citizens, not for these innocent asylum seekers.  Mothers watch their children suffer and starve, and have to use plastic bags as nappies, unless charities supply the need.  In addition, the jailors in both the Central prison and the IDCs can be very brutal.

A police Gypsy suddenly turned up, stopping to the right of the car. Five police personnel, who were in plain clothes, stepped out from the Gypsy,” Srivastav said.

According to the lawyer, an officer of the Special Cell asked Vashisht and Allakha to come with them to the Cell office in Lodhi Colony and join an investigation.

“They got rattled and they asked them why were they being detained. At this point, they were threatened. After hearing the commotion, passersby intervened and Vashisht and and his partner managed to leave the place,” Srivastav said.

Dr Anthony Raju , Advocate and Chairman - All India Council of Human Rights, liberties and Social Justice appeal to stop such cluster bombing immediately in Yeman

RIYADH: The Saudi-led coalition carrying out air strikes in Yemen has probably used cluster bombs which are banned by most countries, the international monitoring group Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Sunday.

Dr Anthony Raju , Advocate and Chairman - All India Council of Human Rights, liberties and Social Justice agreed with HRW and appeal to stop such bombing immediately

The coalition includes eight other Arab states and is receiving logistical support from the United States, Britain and France. It has been bombing Yemen's Houthi militia and allied army units for a month in an effort to restore the government.

"Credible evidence indicates that the Saudi-led coalition used banned cluster munitions supplied by the United States in air strikes against Houthi forces," Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a statement. It said it had not been able to obtain information on possible casualties from the attacks.

Saudi Arabia's coalition spokesman was not immediately available to comment on the report.

The Houthis called on the United Nations on Saturday to seek an end to the air strikes which they described as blatant aggression against the country.

The air strikes and fighting between the Houthis and forces loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, now based in Riyadh, has worsened Yemen's humanitarian crisis, prompting aid agencies to also call for a halt to the bombing.

The HRW cited a video which the Houthis uploaded to YouTube on April 17 showing objects dropped by parachute which exploded in mid air and its own analysis of satellite imagery to establish the location of the blasts in al-Shaaf in Saada governorate.

HRW also said an activist in Sanaa had provided photographs he had taken on April 17 of the aftermath of air strikes near Saada showing the remnants of two US-made CBU-105 Fuzed Weapons and an empty BLU-108 delivery cannister.

Fighting around Yemen has killed more than 1,000 people, including an estimated 551 civilians since the bombings started on March 26, the United Nations said on April 24. Its children's agency Unicef said at least 115 children were among the dead.

Most cluster bombs, which contain groups of smaller bombs that explode over a wide area, were banned by 116 countries in a 2008 treaty. However, the signatories did not include any states in the Saudi-led coalition or Yemen or the United States.

The CBU-105 is one of the munitions banned in that treaty, HRW said.

PRESS RELEASE= Salman bail is a ashamed for the country and the poor people , this totally against the natural justice , We are totally agree with the advocate Ujjwal Nikam.

Salman bail is a ashamed for the country and the poor people , this totally against the natural justice , We are totally agree with the advocate Ujjwal Nikam.

All advocate of country should leave their profession if such game is playing with poor people of this country and with the judicial systems

There are crores of cases pending in the various court  because 75% undertrail are poor.

I am very sad, feel ashamed being an Indian and advocate , said Dr Anthony Raju. advocate Supreme Court ,  President - All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties and Social Justice

Would the view that the judiciary had handed Salman Khan an exemplary sentence because of his celebrity status have been trotted out if he had killed another Bollywood star?

I can’t quite think of a word that means the opposite of exemplary, but that’s just the sort of word I would use for Bollywood today.

There are many things that I have grown to admire about Bollywood. I admire some of the excellent films that have been produced by the Hindi film industry. I admire Bollywood’s contribution to public relations — Hindi films are a hit in a diverse range of countries from Russia to Turkey.

But on Wednesday morning, I cringed with disgust as I saw Bollywood come out in full strength to support Salman Khan. There was an outpouring of sadness over Khan’s conviction, with not a word of sympathy for the kith and kin of the man who died on the city’s pavements.

It was almost as if Khan had been convicted for swatting a fly. Those who fit snugly into their Being Human T-shirts seemed to have forgotten that a man who’s dirt poor and sleeps on a pavement still qualifies as a human being.

Interim bail should be rejected by the Bombay High Court , said Dr Anthony Raju. advocate Supreme Court

The tweet says much about the playback singer’s views on animals and people. While he has rather strong views on people sleeping on pavements, he seems to have no problem with people driving on them.

Once again, I wonder how Bollywood would have reacted if Khan’s car lost control and rammed into a Bollywood star, sitting, standing, sleeping, singing, dancing or pirouetting on the pavement. What if he had killed “one of their own?”

The young man and woman were found hanging from two ends of a dupatta flung across the branch of tree , Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh

AICHLS VIEW : WE STRONGLY CONDEMN THE INCIDENT , DEMAND IMMEDIATE JUDICIAL INQUIRY , SAID , JUNE ANN , PRESIDENT , BHARTIYA JANHIT SANGARSH MORCHA AND WOMEN WING AICHLS
===================================

The young man and woman were found hanging from two ends of a dupatta flung across the branch of tree, in death very close. The police allege that Rajnish, 22, and Imrana, 18, committed suicide because they were not allowed by their families to marry as they belonged to different communities.

Rajnish, a Dalit, and Imarana, a Muslim, of Bhorakhurd village in communally sensitive Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, had been missing since last night, the police said.

They were found hanging from the tree this morning, a pair of slippers stacked nearby, in what brought back the tragic image of two young teen girls, cousins, who were found hanging from a tree last year in another village in Uttar Pradesh.

Police said the couple had been in love for about four years now, but their families were unyielding in their opposition to them marrying. Recently, Imarana, they said, was engaged to be married to a man of her community.

The police are prima facie treating their death as a case of suicide. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem.

Two years ago, western Uttar Pradesh was torn apart by riots with an epicentre in Muzaffarnagar. In the worst communal violence in a decade in the country's largest state, more than 65 people were killed and about 40,000 were left homeless.

It took months for many to return home as fear stalked the region.
