Dear
IITians and other fellow beings,
Today in the camouflage of our small busy world rarely we ever raise our
eyebrows when we hear about those who suffer and are exploited in our
social and economic structures. But
even so in our self interest based society; there are individuals across
nations, religion, color, creed and gender that have dedicated themselves day
and night in the service of those downtrodden and weaklings whom this modern
world has rejected. Thus they are the torchbearers of love, compassion and
therefore humanity. Prashant Rahi is one of these torchbearers who sacrificed
the luxuries and lucrative life of an IITian engineer to work for the poor.
Prashant Rahi is an alumnus of IIT-BHU,
Electrical Engineering (1982 Batch) who completed his M. Tech from IIT-BHU in
90's. Breaking himself away from the rat race to take jobs in big corporates he
opted for social activism and journalism in Uttrakhand state. There he
participated in separate statehood movement for Uttrakhand, mobilizing to help the farmers displaced by Tehri Dam
construction and worked to uplift people from different walks of life.
But his popularity amongst the masses and his left wing ideas got the ire of
the state and in a sequence of brutal and well conspired events he was
kidnapped, tortured, incarcerated on false charges and kept in solidarity
confinement. Here is the account of these events as mentioned by his daughter
Shikha Rahi :---- Link to this detail is http://www.countercurrents.
"On December 17,
2007 in Dehradun, I was walking to a friend's house at around 9 am, when I was
suddenly attacked by four or five men (not in uniform). They pushed me into a
car, blindfolded me and went on beating me all along the way. After a journey
that lasted about an hour-and-a-half they pulled me out of the car in a
forested area, where they started beating me again. They hit me
everywhere," said my father.
I listened to him
patiently without letting myself get affected by the brutality he underwent. My
father continued, "On the evening of December 18, 2007 these people took
me to Haridwar, where the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) conference was
being held. Here, they continued to torture me. They brutally hit me all over
my body, including my private parts. The officials also threatened to pump
kerosene up my anus and tie me to slabs of ice." What is worse, the police
also threatened my father to bring me from Mumbai (where I reside and work) and
force him to rape me in their presence.
On December 20, 2007,
the officials brought my father to Nanak Matta Police Station in Udham Singh
Nagar district. He was in pain and disoriented due to the sustained beatings
and interrogation of the earlier three days. Though the interrogation
continued, the police waited for him to recover somewhat and then, after two
days, on December 22, 2007 they made his arrest records, which are absolutely
baseless and fictitious. According to my father, the officials who tortured him
did not disclose their identity to him, nor were they seen again after those
five days of in illegal detention."
After 3 years
and 8 months of government apathy, torture and confinement, finally the social
rights movement bodies were able to get Prashant Rahi released
from prison on bail on 21st Aug. 2011. One such movement was started by
IIT-BHU alumni (link :-- http://www.itbhuglobal.org/
In prison he witnessed
similar cases where social activists, journalists and tribals were framed by
police and state using loopholes in IPC which is a British era made Law code
and amended UAPA which is a draconian act easy to be misused by police so as to
get awards, benefits and power. So, he started championing the cause and
rights of the political prisoners (social activist, journalists, tribal and
rural people who don't have voice and power to fight individually with the
State) in India. He was successful and many
such political prisoners were given bail.
Pursuing such a case he travelled to
Raipur to get some files from the court. Little did Prashant Rahi know that the
police (Maharashtra police) and intelligence agencies had conspired a new plot
against him as he was getting closer to getting acquital in Uttarakhand 2007
case. Again he was abducted, taken to some other place, beaten, tortured,
incarcerated and thrown in jail and that too just before the date when his
final hearing for 2007 case was scheduled. Details are given by Prashant Rahi
himself in his letter :-- http://sanhati.com/
Che Guevara said
"Above all always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed
anywhere in the world. This is the most important quality of a revolutionary.”
So, dear friends, as
citizens of India it is our moral and social duty to uphold the principles of
justice, liberty, equality and Love (fraternity) for all. Many organizations have already
started campaigning for Prashant’s freedom.

People Union for
Democratic Rights (link:--

many journalist clubs and others:--
Remember evil doesn't triumph by its strength but because of the silence of the good. So, make the truth triumph.
So. now it is the turn of us IITians, alumni and other
humanitarians to help our brother to get JUSTICE. Join the campaign for Prashant Rahi's release.

Detailed Appeal By Prashant's Lawyer:
Urgent Appeal
Urgent Appeal: 23 March-2014
---------------------------------------------------
INDIA: Illegal
arrest of Prashant Rahi and his co-accused under Unlawful Activities Prevention
Act [UAPA], 2008 and their continued incarceration at Central Prison,
Nagpur.
ISSUES:
Conspiracy of intelligence and police agencies, Arbitrary detention; Brutal
torture, Inhuman and degrading treatment; Police Impunity; Persecution of
political dissents; Harassment.
-------------------------------------------
It is informed that a social activist and journalist
Prashant Rahi and his co-accused Hem Mishra, the J.N.U. student of Chinese, and
3 other most innocuous adivasi (tribal) youth, were illegally arrested from
different places by Maharashtra police, brutally tortured and treated in the
most inhuman and degrading manner, before being framed under draconian law
Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, (UAPA in short) and Indian Penal Code
(IPC in short) for no offence other than their political ideology. It is also
informed that for last 8 to 10 years trends of the militarization/excess
policing in India has led to the incarceration of not less than 3000 alleged
Maoists, an overwhelming majority of them framed with fabricated charges,
brutally tortured and inhumanly treated in police custody. It is also informed
that the districts, particularly, inhabited by the tribal people, are
officially notified as police districts, whereby usual District Administration,
Judiciary and "Development Activities" are controlled by police
officials, who in turn move around in the towns and roadside villages like an
occupation army, enjoying overriding powers to lord & torment over the
populace on their wimps.
CASE DETAIL: Prashant Rahi,
a qualified electrical engineer from IIT-BHU in 90’s and a social activist by
choice, was living and working in Dehradun since 1991. There
he participated in separate statehood movement for Uttrakhand, mobilizing to
help the farmers displaced by Tehri Dam construction and worked to uplift
people from different walks of life. But his popularity
amongst the masses and his left wing ideas got the ire of the state and on 17th
December 2007, Prashant was picked up from a prominent street in broad
daylight, close to Ara Ghar, after being attacked by several men all of a
sudden, manhandled, blindfolded and carried away in a speeding car, first to a
forest in the neighboring Haridwar district,
beaten up with sticks all through the first night, after which he collapsed.
The next day, he was shifted to a Provincial Armed Constabulary campus of the
Uttarakhand Police in Haridwar in a restricted part of Roshanabad, brought to a
“PAC Conference Room”, where the blind-folding was first removed on the 18th
night. There, he was tortured and harassed continuously till the 20th in
various devious and inhuman ways, which is being omitted here to save space and
for decency’s sake. On the 20th morning, he was again blindfolded, put into a
car and driven several hours to be brought to Udham Singh Nagar, and hidden in
a room of the residential quarters within the premises of Nankmatta Police
Station, some 350 km. to the east of Dehradun. There, he was tortured by a
different set of police personnel, until they could make up a story to show his
arrest on the 22nd under the IPC Sections 121 (waging war or
abetting the waging of war against the state), 121A (conspiring against the
state), 124A (sedition), 153B (threatening the preservation of the nation’s
unity and sovereignty), 120B (committing the above offences as part of a criminal
conspiracy), and under the UAPA Section 20 (member of a terrorist
organization). Till the 5 days and 5 nights that elapsed after he had been
picked up and illegally confined, he had not been allowed even a wink’s sleep.
After informing his daughter Shikha Rahi, based in Mumbai, of his arrest on the
22nd evening, he was produced at a Magistrate’s Court on the 23rd
Dec.
The arrest story
was that he was accosted in the forests near Nankmatta during a combing/search
operation by a police party for a Maoist training camp, as reported in a F.I.R.
lodged on the 20th, around the time he was brought to the police station
premises from Haridwar, which 4 others, who were with him, fled the scene.
Later, he allegedly helped recover a broken laptop, a pen drive and some
printed material from the same forest (which he had never seen before, nor was
he taken out there then), and the IO wrote out other cock and bull descriptions
about an imagined 3-month long CPI (Maoist) military training camp, and now all
the cadres and military trainers with their equally imaginary arms and
ammunitions had vanished – all except him (who was already in their custody on
the date of filing the FIR)!
The case with
Cr. Case No. 3222/2007 was taken up for trial 8 months later, as S.T. No. 83/2008,
and the trial has not yet concluded. Prashant could get bail only after 3 years
and 8 months, that too only because the UAPA invoked against him and his
co-accused was the 2004 version, not the 2008 one, and also due to the
dedicated efforts of many social rights organizations. The others who were
subsequently arrested from home, a court premises and one from a railway
station a year or so later, were respectively, Gopal Bhatt, Dinesh Pandey and
Chandrakala, all well-known social activists of Uttarakhand. 3 others were
proclaimed as absconders. All the 3 who were arrested after him were released
first, and he too was released on bail on August 21, 2011.
Soon after his
release on bail, Prashant having realized the horrific conditions in jails
during his own detention and also having realized the vulnerability and
helplessness of the poor political prisoners framed under UAPA and other
draconian laws, languishing in different jails
for a long time,
decided to work for the cause of these political prisoners. Due to his
continuous and tireless work (before his second time abduction and illegal
arrest on 1st September 2013), he had been enormously successful,
either in getting a good number of them bailed out or speeding up their trials,
which resulted in their acquittals.
For this very
human rights activism of providing legal aid to political prisoners, Prashant
Rahi was abducted on 1st September, 2013 by the Maharashtra police
from Raipur where he had gone to collect some papers related to a case for which
he was engaged professionally as to translating those papers and to hand it
over to a lawyer engaged in filing a Special Leave Petition in the Apex Court
of the country.
Apart from the
police story, Prashant Rahi was arrested from Raipur of Chhattisgarh state in
the most innocuous circumstances, far beyond the State of Maharashtra well
before September 2 (the claimed date of his arrest in Gondia); forcibly thrust
into a dark-colored van bearing fake number plates and shaded glass for its
windows; and forced to travel with his abductors who turned out to be employees
of the Maharashtra police. They had transgressed their specified area of
jurisdiction, with orders from their superiors to facilitate Prashant's fake
arrest, in gross violation of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr. P. C.) and
specific directions on procedure for arrest issued by the Supreme Court of
India. Prashant Rahi was driven over a full day and night, straight to Aheri
police station, having crossed several district and State borders.
At Aheri
Prahsant was first produced in a Magistrate Court on precisely that day, by the
Investigating officer (IO) in Cr. Case No.3017/2013, Suhas Bavache, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police. The IO, Suhas Bavache. hoodwinked the Courts so that
cognizance be taken of Prashant's fake arrest and his allegations against
Prashant about a criminal conspiracy (Section 120B, IPC) to commit some
unlawful acts (Sec.13,UAPA), as a member of terrorist organization(Sec. 20,
UAPA) and eliciting support for the CPI (Maoist) (Sec. 39, UAPA).
It is reported
that Prashant and his co-accused were badly tortured by the IO, Suhas Bawache.
All of the accused were tortured in the most inhuman manner. Mr. Bawache
personally used brute force against Prashant and the others, violated their
minds and body, abused them, tormented and harassed them all through the days
and nights over several weeks of their PCR, i.e. Police Custody Remand. Hem
Mishra, Pandu Naroti and Mahesh Tirki,
who were actually picked up from different places at Ballarshah in Chandrapur
District of Maharashtra within the railway station premises on August 20, where
badly mauled during 2 days of their illegal custody prior to the stipulated 24
hour period within which accused persons are required to be presented before a
judicial court.
It is also
reported that apart from the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Suhas Bawache and
his subordinates who physically and mentally tortured Prashant, Hem and the
others, senior officials like the Deputy Inspector-general of Police, Ravindra
Kadam; and an Inspector-general who called himself Anup Kumar were directly
responsible for the entire episode and for implicating Prashant unlawfully and
for showing their arrests incorrectly and falsely.
Again, as
reported, none of the accounts of the victims’ interrogation during illegal and
legal custody of the police carried by the newspapers are true and complete.
Prashant and his co-accused did not get any opportunity to freely and
sufficiently interact with journalists. There is not even an iota of truth in
the claim that Vijay Tirki from Kanker District of Chhattisgarh received
Prashant at Raipur in that State, and thereafter escorted him up to a certain
Devri–Chichgadh T-junction in Gondia, Maharashtra, enroute to Abujhmaad.
The fact is that
Vijay Tirki was arrested separately, somewhere in Raipur, and he had no plan to
escort Prashant, nor did Prashant approach him to be escorted to any
destination. The first time that Prashant met a person by this name from Kanker
District of Chhattisgarh was several hours after Prashant was dumped into the
Aheri Police Station around midnight of 1st/2nd September 2013, when Vijay
Tirki too was thrown inside. As has already been reported, Prashant was engaged
in professionally translating some case papers for a lawyer; after meeting
another lawyer who was his source for those papers, he was to collect some more
papers from him shortly after the time of Prashant’s abduction, and before
proceeding to return to Uttarakhand to be present at an important hearing of
his ongoing trial in Udham Singh Nagar District on September 2, 2013.
It is informed
that at the end of November, 2013, around 90 days after Prashant’s arrest,
Suhas Bawache submitted an interim report of his investigations to the learned
Court of the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Gadchiroli, in a
successful bid to seek extension by a further 90 days of the period for
submitting a charge sheet against him, failing which he could be entitled
automatically for release on bail under section 167, Cr. P.C. The learned Judge
heard Prashant’s contention that the investigation was being delayed
deliberately on spurious grounds, his arguments having been given as written
‘Say’ filed among the case record. However, the provisions under Sec. 43 (d) 2
of UAPA gave the IO the right to prolong his detention over a period of 180
days without being served a charge-sheet.
A similar 90
days extension had been permitted by the same Court to submit a charge-sheet
against Hem Mishra and his two alleged escorts, Pandu Naroti and Mahesh Tirki,
residents of a Gadchiroli village, all three having been shown arrested at
Aheri Bus Stand on August 22, 2013. The interim investigation report submitted
to the court by Suhas Bawache in support of this extension plea was identical,
in fact a true copy of that submitted in Prashant’s case a week later.
Thus,
effectively, the IO has secured time until February to prepare his charge-sheet
against them, following which, as per the only modicum of safeguards guaranteed
by the UAPA, the sanctioning authorities of the Maharashtra State Government
and/or the Government of India would have to conduct a review of the
investigation, independent of Suhas Bawache and his superior authorities of or
above the rank of Deputy Inspector-general of Police, before granting sanction
in order to prosecute them. Once this procedure is completed according to the
specified process, and a valid Case Diary is prepared by the IO, recording the
procedure followed, even a higher court would be obliged, as per the 2008
insertion into UAPA under its Section 43 (d), Sub-section 5 to take an adverse
view of their bail petitions.
Had he not been
framed up in second case, the Uttrakhand case could have ended in acquittal
latest by the end of 2013. So, there would be calculations and speculations on
the part of both the police IOs, and indeed their superiors, as to how one case
could be made use of to lend weight and credibility to the other.
SUGGESTED
ACTION:
Please write to
the authorities mentioned below demanding immediate release of Prashant Rahi
and his co-accused framed under UAPA and to withdraw the cases pending against
Prashant Rahi in the states of Uttarakhand and Maharashtra. Join and
participate in online signature campaign by Amnesty International. You may also
demand to repeal the UAPA or at least withdraw its 2008 and 2004 amendments.

2.
Mr. Ravindra Kadam, Deputy Inspector-general of
Police, Maharashtra.
3.
Mr. Anup Kumar, Inspector-general of Police,
Maharashtra, who was directly responsible for the entire episode and for
implicating the victims unlawfully and for showing their arrests incorrectly
and falsely.
Date and place
of the incident: Since 1st September, 2013
at different places of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra States.
I am writing to
you with keeping in view the grave concern regarding illegal arrest, brutal
torture, inhuman and degrading treatment as well as violation of civil and
democratic rights of a journalist and social activist Prashant Rahi, even if
for the second time—this time after 10-11 days’ mauling of a distantly
acquainted, handicapped JNU student and two, most innocuous, adivasi youth,
hours before a third was picked up from yet another location.
I am also
writing to you with keeping in view the consideration that the many unwarranted
dimensions that the police are trying to add in order to erect an edifice for
their fake, tall claim of having busted some huge “terrorist”, “anti-national”
conspiracy—in a profane bid to lend veracity to Prashant’s and his co-accuseds’
case, and to extend the stipulated period for submitting the primary
charge-sheet from 90 days to 180, as permitted under the latest UAPA version—so
as to deny them bail on the grounds of detention without charges.
Apart from the
prevailing proliferation of pliant, politically prejudiced police story to
comply with the draconian, many-faced state, to defame and denigrate the
nobler, unbending dissenting political stream of which Prashant considers
himself, I am fully aware of his surreptitious pre-arrest abduction (second arrest) by the Maharashtra Police, far
beyond their jurisdiction and in blatant violation of the law as outlined
clearly, and the inevitable vicious mental and physical torture inflicted upon
him. Keeping in view the grave impunity on the part of the police, Maharashtra
government as well as Indian government is obliged to make some minimum
clarification pertaining to the UAPA which breeds this lawlessness,
undemocratic, conspiratorial or vindictive actions and trends at any level,
both within and without.
I also hold the
opinion, keeping in view the grave impunity, that Maharashtra government as
well as Indian government is obliged to make some minimum clarification
pertaining to the Act which breeds this lawlessness, undemocratic,
conspiratorial or vindictive actions and trends at any level, both within and
without.
I have also
noted the misreporting by the media or follow-up interrogation by any of the
plethora of investigation agencies—all of whom would generally tend to distort
the facts and circumstances of such cases and the victim’s real version, even
to the extent of entirely concocted cock-and-bull statements and allusions.
I also firmly hold the opinion that it is the
responsibility of the Maharashtra government as well as Indian government to
prevent each and every excess, given the increasingly repressive apparatus,
particularly that following the post-American 9/11 and post-our own 26/11
enactments and amendments by successive NDA and UPA regimes through some
politically sterile and paranoid parliamentary machinations, in the form of
POTA to begin with, and then the ubiquitous UAPA. The first Act we could
successfully throw out all together, in the course of a regime change. The
second still begs far more discourteous resistance than the cursory derision or
ecclesiastic condemnation we have offered it so far. The real encumbrance to
any pretence of a democracy is the incumbent UAPA regime indeed.
I am
also aware of the 31st December 2008 amendments in the UAPA is of
serious nature, especially those pertaining to the very definition of
“terrorism” in the Act and the stiff resistance to granting bail, which has
been instituted within the statute book (where the Act is invoked).
I am
also aware that in the UAPA of 2004, it was imperative that only such acts,
where” bombs, dynamite or other explosive substances or inflammable substances,
firearms or other lethal weapons or poisons or noxious gases or other chemicals
or by any other substances (whether biological or otherwise) of a hazardous
nature” were used, could be described as terrorist acts. By this definition,
even in such serious cases as Prashant’s no ‘terrorist act’ can be alleged to
have been resorted to. For there is no allegation of any weapon or substance
“of a hazardous nature”, or at least no evidence of such use has been produced.
In
addition to the above, I am also informed that by 31st 2008
amendments, 2 very short phrases have been added to lengthy definition of
“terrorist act” under section 15 of UAPA, 2004, which have drastically
broadened the scope of the people, and more importantly, innocent people, who
may be targeted by the state or the police or the ruling government. Now the
2008 amendments adds the phrase “or by any means of whatever nature”, which is
a vague and blanket description which can include anything under the sky, including
mere ideological conversations, talks or literature. Meaning thereby, merely
use of vocal means or literary means could be defined as a “terrorist act”, and
held the speaker or writer liable for punishment under section 16, UAPA, which
may amount to not less than five years and extending to a life term.
I, with these concerns, urge you to:
1. To grant
Prashant Rahi and his co-accused immediately and withdraw cases pending against
Prashant Rahi in the states of Uttrakhand
and Maharashtra.
2. Repeal the U.A.P.A. or at least withdraw its 2008
and 2004 amendments.
3. Ensure speedy
trials for all UAPA accused and summon prosecution witnesses without delay.
4. Ensure
freedom of speech and expression of those booked under U.A.P.A.
5.
Do not adopt video conferencing as the means to conduct court trials. Stop this
practice forthwith wherever in
force.
6. Implement
forthwith the provisions of the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights, on Prisoners’ Right, and on
Detention Centres.
