Four inmates awaiting execution in Indian jails
December 14, 2008 · Print
New Delhi, November 2, 2006. - The death sentence this week of a Delhi lawyer, who murdered ten years ago a young woman after raping her, has opened a sharp debate on capital punishment in India, whose prisons were estimated that 400 prisoners waiting to be hanged.
The Delhi High Court ruled on 30 October to Santosh Singh, 35, to death by hanging for the murder and rape of the young student Priyadarshini Matoo, 23, whom he had been harassed for two years.
Singh, married and father of a young daughter, had been freed from the burden of the law when he was tried in 1999 for the first time of that offense, and acquitted for lack of evidence, a verdict that raised social controversy and criticism in the media communication.
The Indian Justice applies the death penalty following the "rarest of the rare" ("the rarest of the rare"), an example of which would be the 1989 assassination of President Indira Gandhi assassination, the author paid with death.
This principle covers usually brutal crimes such as murder after a rape or high treason against the state, but the problem is that the Supreme Court not criminalized at the time what crime was "weird" and what "the rarest" of So in the end to death sentences are discretionary.
For Santosh, the judges felt no doubt that the accused, the son of a policeman and a lawyer, should have had an "exemplary", yet harassed his victim for two years, which ended up breaking and killing after assault at home.
But this sentence has driven a wedge between those who advocate the extension of the death penalty in more cases and those calling for a moratorium on executions until the total abolition, including the delegate from India Amnesty International (AI), Soumya Bhaumik.
"There are people who are against the death penalty, but justified the executions in the extreme cases of rape and murder. We have to do education, everyone should understand that the death penalty is not the way ", said Bhaumik Efe.
According to the CEO of AI, there is a growing risk that the public identifies justice with the death penalty, partly because "the insane role of media, playing with the feelings of people ignoring the fact that an execution violates the basic human rights. "
India seemed to have been slow but progressive steps towards abolition of the death penalty since, in 1973, established the obligation of reason in each statement the reasons why they decided the death sentence rather than life imprisonment.
In the early 60's last century, according to estimates by AI, there had been about 1,450 executions in this country.
But the Indian state has recognized only 45 executions since independence in 1947 until 2004, according Baumik.
For AI delegate, step backwards in the fight for the abolition of capital punishment was in 2004 when Dhananjoy Chatterjee was executed, also convicted for the rape and murder of a woman.
That run broke "a moratorium of 15 years," applied after the murderer of President Gandhi, presented Baumik.
And now it is estimated that about a dozen cases awaiting the signature of the Indian President Abdul Kalam, to send as many defendants to the gallows, a figure that declined to confirm or deny Efe director of the Presidential Secretariat, Barun Mitra.
Kalam, in exercise of a constitutional prerogative, has been reluctant so far to sign these statements.
But the main opposition party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), shows on its website a report with the image of a knot of noose and the eloquent legend "India wants the death of the traitor," referring to the case of Mohammed Afzal .
Afzal, who should have been hanged on 20 October by planning an attempt to attack the Indian Parliament in 2001, is pending that Kalam consider a request for clemency

The illusions are those whose performance expectations seems particularly attractive. I am one of many who believe that, illusions, go far beyond that definition.
An illusion has the ability to keep alive the most cherished dream, forever. Perhaps, who is not excited? And who does not, more than once with the same? I do.
At the beginning of each day, I carry the hopes and the desire to transform them into reality. They are, without doubt, give me the freedom to be who I am. I choose what excites me and what not. That is why, having said that, I can say that the relationship between illusion and freedom is relational and depends on the other. I do not believe in the ability to perceive freedom without illusions. Nor otherwise.
Many times, generates a delusion, or, simply, is excited to events that, in advance, you know impsibles. Many try to argue that such illusions are those that generate more frustration. I, on the contrary, as always, I understand that such illusions are what makes the will to endure. Perhaps, what is to fulfill a dream? Somehow, it creates a vacuum and that's when we create a new illusion.
One problem can arise when a dream comes true when not expected. Our source of creating illusions, not be willing to create new illusions and that's where the road of dreams and temptations intersects.
Record, will, experience, wisdom and dreams. Proof, not lower his arms ever. Will, to drive away our fears and find the meaning of each moment. Experience to distinguish the stones with which I have encountered. Aunsencias wisdom to understand, the pain and injustice. Illusions, never to let go of the desire to possess Constancia, Will, Experience, Wisdom and Illusions. At the same time, and at the same place.
"Proof, will, experience, wisdom and dreams. My wishes for the coming year, for those who are part of my life, for those who are part of my dreams. "
Illusions are beautiful, you know Jorge blindly believed in someone, that happened recently and that he himself felt for me. It hurt to know that this new year began with his absence, he filled me with life and excitement, it was my company through his poetry, but not what has happened, everything suddenly turned gray, which occurred not be. Dying to know, that I have not, that was everything to me, at a distance and without knowing it. I was excited to tell the truth I never did, dreaming that soon would come to know, I was excited, but, by little moved away from me and suddenly everything appeared to change his style. I love him and nobody will change that thanks sentimiento.Muchas
http://ilusionesdelibertadyor.blogspot.com/JORGE Polanco said ... that this year will be few tears shared benefits are met more companions and go away from this place. The old patients meet their pardons were for the few years of life they have left. That 2010 comes the best food in the prisons of Peru, that the words of the authorities are satisfied even in a 0.5% real and that someone will reach out sign on the right track and this year other than those higher sentences and judges are more fair, remember that we are also human beings with thoughts and dreams that we have forgotten without judgments or profits, and dreams of my classmates and their dreams to become free. It is the wish of a prisoner over this criminal.

Blindfolded lady and cold body
you are in court
without seeing human suffering without listening to the lawyers, those who abandon the lawless men under his broken promises
lower your pedestals.
Take off the blindfold and look around you how much injustice, the pain, how many lies, do not lean your weight balance of the money
is just
Upgrade the balance
and attacks with the sword of suffering,
that without your good offices
we are nothing.
Blood and ink Lávanos
revives the innocent
and let the dead bury
the record.
Scares birds black and poor jueras
and kills the worms
and men at your feet
shake hands.
Illuminate the judge asleep
soothes all war
and become queen forever
of our land.
Lady blindfolded
with the sword and the scales
the just humiliated
do not steal hope.
Give them reason and cries
because it is time to seek their freedom

SERVING THE PRISON
The criminal issue is growing every day with about nearly 48,000 inmates in all prisons of Peru with almost over 70% without judgment, despite the great changes that have been our country's criminal satisfactory progress by a few government managers as our director of INPE Ms. Yolanda Cardenas in criminal Lurigancho facilitating development and changes in the minds of the inmates develop life plans and to achieve and micro enterprises run from the criminal grabs a time getting from production in the ceramic industrial area, useful cleaning, etc.. approximately seven projects are being managed for the benefit of the inmate fighting for his family and seek their freedom, though divided into two more or less contradictory positions. One of them considers the prison as an appropriate response to crime by putting more emphasis on the rehabilitation of prisoners in punishment. The other position that the prison is certainly useful, saying that there should be only in cases where it is necessary to protect society from those who represent a real danger to their semejantes.En any case, it was suggested, through an analysis evaluated by inmates, too many fellow professionals and connoisseurs of this great social problem repeat with the support of psychologists, and social, by our director of INPE Yolanda livid that plays tirelessly work with internal support held in a criminal - there should be alternatives to prisons. The position of the inmates, is considered as an alternative life projects or work, teaching while in this place under the supervision of technicians, teachers, and workshops of the CEO and to apply what you learn here with the opportunity to develop as companies in order to solve our families get as became clear during the discussion and visits to several prisons that were made by people who really want the future and that change is spreading with enthusiasm in all penal Peru and aims for decriminalization in principle, emphasizing the current practice of rehabilitation. With life projects the global prison population, whereas the South American prisons have always been a failure. Current Penal System mind thanks to the efforts taken by the same criminal internal Lurigancho Peru have made great strides in prison reform, in the presence of identities of the judiciary, ombudsman justice ministry dismissed point by point the usual justifications of incarceration, arguing that incarceration deters crime rarely, because most crimes are committed impulsively, often under the influence of alcohol and drugs, not thinking at all in the consequences of action for the victim or for criminals taking advantage of the lords also responsible civil third as large breweries that do not grab anything by somehow prevent the prevention of crime in our country, think of satisfaction and personal interests, we would like to invite all those financial powers bring some wing delito.Para the prevention, evidence of "social protection" is also questionable, except for those subjects that have become uncontrollably violent, which constitute a small percentage of the prison population. Most individuals imprisoned in Peru for nonviolent crimes are usually misdemeanors, said that because criminological studies have shown conclusively that imprisonment increases the chances of a recurrence of crime, society acts not in favor but against their interests by throwing a large number of people to prisiones.Finalmente said that rehabilitation is difficult in an environment coercive and repressive, isolated from the rest of society. "Obviously, when the deprivation of liberty and rights are used as punishment, the consequences for the individual reduction include loss of self-esteem, confidence in himself, his dignity and sense of responsibility. Aggression and frustration increase, while the opportunity to learn to channel these feelings down. These results are contrary to the goals of rehabilitation. " The center should get jobs live while reintegrating into civilian society. One night they were ordered to leave for a meeting to discuss their problems of readjustment. Let's start with life projects and try every man hours used by their own rehabilitation

International Women's Day in tribute to women around the world who struggle and strive for equality, justice, development in all areas of their lives. While women are making great strides, much remains to be done. That this date is an opportunity to reflect on the important work done by women in society and continue to work for human rights of women, which are an inalienable and indivisible part of universal human rights. The participation of women on an equal footing, both in family life, political, civil, economic, social, cultural and eradication of all forms of violence and discrimination should be reason to continue working. For mothers daughters, grandmothers and my friends and the woman I love and she does not know with all my affection.

LOYALTY
Loyalty is under consistent in meeting the demanding standards of loyalty, honor and gratitude.
Fidelity is a notion which in its most abstract level implies a real connection. Fidelity is the spiritual capacity, the power or virtue of fulfilling the promises.
My dear friends emagister taking as its premise the two previous concepts, we see that loyalty, and fidelity are almost synonymous. And that loyalty has to do with the fulfillment of something, and fidelity is directly related to the FE, having regard to love. Whenever we hear of loyalty and fidelity, as important values within an individual, but we start to think, if we stay within these values?
Loyalty is to, make that with which one has committed even among changing circumstances. Loyalty is a virtue that develops our awareness and brings us deeper into a situation, through it, and to exit the other side, emerging as a more evolved person.
It is our duty to be loyal to those who depend on us: family, friends, our employees or our employer. Loyalty is loving kindness in action. Taking this into account we could say that we live it, we are BETTER.
Loyalty is powered by the energy that comes into our body, taking care of our attitudes and thoughts. As we see, loyalty is closely related to other virtues such as friendship, respect, responsibility and honesty among others.
What does call another brother? It is simply a term used to refer to each other that sets us apart from others? Do you use it because everyone else used? Is it because we all feel compelled to do so? How can two men have never met each other can be found in the level and treat each other as brothers?
Like most people, was cautious when meeting strangers. And now, being a free man and good manners I can find myself, and this is enough. Without hesitation, I am prepared to pay any and all assistance, I trust in the word. Of you for the great time which intervened so grateful all my life
Have you given any thought to be that my good buddy emagister How is this phenomenon occurs, we call FRATERNITY, so incredible and spontaneous? It is a simple effect. COMMITMENT. Loyalty is essential to the friendship that has developed in the commitment of hearts between two people and more.
In a heart to heart relationship develops loyalty trust. And that is precisely what happens when you enter. Because it is something prohibited to ordinary society, unites us, that binds us SILENCE commitment, equality, fraternity, all contained within the LOYALTY
Loyalty develops our soul consciousness, transforming us into the most beautiful creation potential of a human being, that is why when we see and have, as attitudes;
Disclose confidences that we have.
The little effort put in making a job or finish.
Complain about the mode of being of help to someone and not being exceeded.
Loyalty is not a consequence of her affection, is the result of discernment to choose what is right, and understand that: The important thing is to live the virtues of what they represent, not the people who at some time dictate a standard. So we will be consistent with ourselves

ROUGH OCEAN
Our mind is often like a restless ocean where the waves are agitated continuously its ceaseless activity: conflicting emotions, thoughts varied expectations and many sensations. The society takes many varied forms of all this fuss sometimes with injustice
This contrast we syndicate grab the wrong people which remain in many prisons around the world deprived of their liberty in this inner world remains in darkness. Humans change their way of life and thought an inmate with more than 10 years in prison is isolated from the world different lives paralyzed in time watching every movement and every human being to doubt that even comes close sets its own language and many innocent people end up accepting a crime they did not commit that injustice which I struggle to live that every day is the motivates me to continue my dear friends emagister from this prison I want to thank each of you for your patience and cooperation with this great collection of poems that is very important for all the nearly 48,000 inmates in the prisons of PERU result of this is a mental and emotional help to many colleagues for their freedom
Generating mental calm as a gateway to a state of being characterized by a profound serenity and acute lucidity, thanks to which I'm sure could be helpful for inmates with long sentences and thus free of the false representations created by the mind illusory.
Swimming in the crystal clear waters
When the surface of the mind is agitated is impossible to observe the bottom. Everything becomes confusing. However, if the area has calmed down then you can clearly see the fund and its contents.
Once at this point, we can not say for sure if the observer who observes reality or is the reality that the observer notes. As Alan Watts said, you experience yourself "as an opening through which the universe itself is observed
The strength generated by the deep inner sentamiento that induces the mind and will open up the world without fear and in contact with him, you become aware of the pain and suffering of other living beings and the great opportunity that Life is
To apply the death penalty requires executioners, responsible for carrying out the execution of prisoners sentenced to death. To defend this penalty is human needs, often see the psychiatric of these characters on the pretext of cleaning the society the ruling government wants to give power to condemn violence and the death penalty because of a few unbalanced individuals who killed a child involving thousands of fellow prisoners in different prisons of PERU.
The high stringency with which religions say "no kill" is because they descend from a long series of generations of murderers. Fortunately, through human history, we have acquired ethical aspirations trying to rise above sordid as we have.
Today, inflamed and angry voices calling for the Peruvian government is organized to kill the most cruel criminals. But know this is not legally possible. They do joint for three reasons: to win votes, pretending identifications with the most primitive rage of the population, primarily because they use the layer impulsive brain (reptilian) and have a million titles, and because they do not care to improve the spirit of the population. Are tolerance and serenity the qualities to be encouraged, especially now.
It is true that criminals-who want to kill, should be severely punished, but remembering that the spirits of these were damaged in their own families, and these, by the social-responsibility defects of bad political leaders past and present- .
Bullet to kill a child or leave it invalid is horrendous. Also, starving and disease through corruption.
This theme of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth in part confuses the public does not know about criminal conduct, have a soul with a thirst for blood and need to satisfy their hatred under the pretext of punishing the most malignant.
Remember the massacre of Bagua, Moquegua, Chala, and different parts of PERU with open letter to kill defenseless people, of course we do not have the power to judge yet savagery go unpunished all these workers who were on protest march for a cause were killed by police http://elperuanoaldia.blogspot.com/2010/06/informe-de-baguazo-culpa-ministra.html
Sometimes I miss the bulls because you were by my side and spoke quietly to listen to me the souls of sad hearts are always with me in my old house when you followed me every day with your voice and were playing silently stroked the distance pain in my chest that asks for help for you now, I control the time and distance and have it for sure be by my side
ALLEGED HUMAN BEING CALLED FREEDOM OF THE FIELD
He also deprived of his liberty is entitled to the legal and settled back to society that often discriminates against you, this large percentage that at some point in his life committed a crime are tried as enemies of the state laws exaggerating up to life imprisonment many of them first-I remember in April 2009 an individual was sentenced for providing a cell phone where they called in a subject who was sentenced to up 20 years, another case in a fight a subject eighth cycle of system engineering discussed a guy fighting the other person falls to the floor is struck with the village dies instantly convicted of murder 18 years, thousands of absurd cases almost fill the prisons of PERU.estos stately red carpets who abuse their main criteria of consciousness in criminal law of citizen misinterpret laws on the right of the enemy applied physical and mental duress that many humans are judged as traitors to their country, all the comrades held in prisons in these centers are abandoned deformation of consciousness where man with no opportunities and meet those who had shared his ideas with criminal minds and perfect the great crimes and create large industry of organized crime where the main protagonists are the police, judges, lawyers, and all the corruption of the state. This dark world where man is not judged for his crime but for their poverty
WHAT IS YOUR LOVE?
What is your baby? Of course I knew what it was before the corruption, I saw him many times as senior government officials were reported and appeared denying everything in the news at 10pm, but that corruption hits close to you ... when you had the freedom he had not known ... and now haunts me every moment behind bars this rusty, dusty graveyard of forgotten.
On each door is located a soldier who claims to represent the authority, his costume representative of justice and order, I look to see if I do not illegal, but to read in my eyes if I need anything, so you can stretch out and me: Check! Check!
And the feel of my coin sweaty and bloody cost me so much get in his hand of authority and indignity ... quickly gets the coin in his pocket as if he knew the shame that this means ...
Ever happening with my visit he crosses his arm with the green color that represents peace, dignity, justice, discipline, but his arm just wanted to keep me from the right circle with domestic cattle to walk around with his visit, he wanted was que yo le pague, que el dinero que mi visita tan duramente sacrifica, muchas veces sacrificando un pan de mi hijo para sufridamente traérmelo y la veo a mi visita agachando la cabeza mientras hunde. una manito en su bolso y estira la moneda, ahí si dibuja una sonrisa el pnp, como pueden llevar en sus insignias la palabra del sagrado país?
Cual es tu cariño me repite si quiero tener unos segundos más en la cola que hacen las visitas para despedirme…y poder ganarle unos segundos a la felicidad de abrazar a mi ser querido…
Cual es tu cariño me dice si quiero salir fuera del pabellón para recursearme y conseguir unas monedas para enviar a casa para oír a mi madre en el teléfono
Ya como es? Me dice el mal llamado policía que al estirarme la mano y alzar un palo me asalta literalmente tan solo porque deseo ir a pedir información sobre mi caso a los abogados de oficio.
Paga pues! Me dice otro por tan solo querer salir el domingo a Misa y recordar como me arrodillaba ante ti Dios hace tanto tiempo cuando era niño…y TU lo sabes Señor!
Cual es tu cariño? Me dice si quiero respirar un poco de aire cerca a las plantas.
Cuantas veces mordí mi lengua al pasar a su lado luego de resignadamente depositarle una monedas en esa mano que en un lugar como este solo deberían estirarse para que la justicia y el honor, la dignidad y la honra se demuestren y prediquen con el ejemplo
