PRESS RELEASE -IMMEDIATE AND EFFECTIVE ACTION MUST BE TAKEN AGAINST THE POLICEMEN RESPONSIBLE FOR RAPE AND MURDER OF MEENA KHALKHO

The Chhattisgarh PUCL welcomes the placing of the long awaited Judicial Enquiry Commission Report in the case of murder of a tribal girl Meena Khalkho on the floor of the Vidhan Sabha.  It is shocking indeed that the Government of Chhattisgarh is silent on the action proposed to be taken on the basis of the Report.

The conclusions of the Judicial Enquiry Commission conducted by Judge Smt Anita Jha are clear and unambiguous and support the fact findings conducted by the Chhattisgarh Bachao Andolan, independent journalists, and the Chhattisgarh PUCL nearly 4 years ago.

The Report of the Commission has held that:-

1. Meena Khalkho was not a Naxalite or in any way connected with Naxalites as claimed by the police, but a simple village girl who after studying upto Class V used to graze goats and also used to work as a domestic help in several houses in her Village Kharcha/ Navadih, Police Station Chando, district Balrampur.
2. The story of the police that there was a police encounter with 30-35 Naxalites of the “Vir Say” group who had come in from Jharkhand is not at all credible. For the purpose the Commission has elaborately dissected how only 3 members of the police team have said to have fired thei r firearms,  very few cartridges have been seized, no-one has been injured apart from the deceased Meena Khalkho, the distance claimed to have been covered by the police in the search is highly improbable, the respective positions of the police and Naxalites during the encounter as stated are not credible etc.
3. The Commission has also held that the killing of Meena Khalkho was not from a distance as claimed in the story of encounter/ cross fire, but from a closer range. She was clearly killed by police weapons. It was improbable that she would have survived till the morning and confessed to be being part of the Naxal party as the police claimed.
4. The Commission has held that forcible sexual assault had also been carried out on the girl which was evident from the fact that the urinary bladder had been ruptured, upper part of uterus was torn, there was a lacerated wound in the thigh, and all these injuries were ante mortem in nature. Sperm had been found on her seized clothing. She had also been shot below the waist.

The extent to which the police had gone  in concocting a story including showing seizures of detonator, country made gun, a “pithoo” with Naxal literature is shocking indeed. The Learned Enquiry Judge has however  successfully  established the falsity of the story.

The Chhattisgarh PUCL demands the following:-

1. The concerned police party consisting of 25 policemen of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force as well as of the Police Station Chando should be immediately arrested for the crime of murder, rape, destruction of evidence, and concoction of a false case against Meena Khalkho.
2. Investigation into this crime cannot be left to the Chhattisgarh police whose track record in the instant case has not just been dismal but clearly one of protecting its officers. This should be carried out by an independent and credible high power investigating authority.
3. The crime of sexual assault which clearly preceded the murder must be specially and thoroughly investigated, being possibly the heinous motive of this entire incident.
4. Many efforts had been made to force the villagers of Village Kharcha and Navadih, and other independent witnesses to change their statements. Now initiative must be taken to instill confidence in those villagers who may still have further information to aid the investigation.
5. The crime of rape and murder of the minor tribal girl Meena Khalkho occurred four years ago. Justice has been greatly delayed. Special efforts have to be made to see that it is not denied.

"Los bombardeos sobre territorio kurdo se han llevado a cabo bajo el beneplácito de los EEUU y acuerdos con la UE, además del apoyo del presidente del Gobierno Regional de Kurdistán (Barzani)."

El frágil “acuerdo de paz” entre el gobierno turco y el Movimiento de Liberación Kurdo se ha roto de manera  inequívoca, aunque los medios y la propaganda gubernamental traten de reflejar que el peso de tal ruptura recaiga sobre la voluntad kurda. Cada día nuevo aporta un número de muertes y derramamiento de sangre a causa de los bombardeos indiscriminados, detenciones masivas y torturas a cargo de la policía y ejército turcos. A todo ello hay que añadir un verdadero desastre ecológico a consecuencia de los incendios provocados por dichos bombardeos. En 15 años han desaparecido alrededor de 50.000 kilómetros cuadrados de bosques, lugares que la administración otomana considera lugar de refugio para la guerrilla.  Los bombardeos sobre territorio kurdo se han llevado a cabo bajo el beneplácito de los EEUU y acuerdos con la UE, además del apoyo del presidente del Gobierno Regional de Kurdistán (Barzani).

 

Y una nueva vuelta de tuerca se ha dado en las últimas semanas, cuando la fiscalía de Diyarbakir ha abierto una investigación judicial a Selahattin Demirtas (Co-presidente del partido HDP, cuarta fuerza en el Parlamento turco, votada por más de 6 millones de personas) acusado de “delitos contra la paz pública”.

 

Los enfrentamientos civiles se desataron tras el asedio yihadista a Kobane, lo que motivó al HDP a solidarizarse con las milicias kurdas defensoras de la ciudad y a denunciar el apoyo de Turquía al grupo terrorista ISIS. En Turquía, Demirtas solo podría ser juzgado si pierde la inmunidad parlamentaria, y para ello el Ministerio de Justicia ha remitido una solicitud para despojarle de la inmunidad que le otorga su cargo, dicha solicitud debe ser votada en el Parlamento.

 

Este miércoles el HDP elevó al Parlamento turco una propuesta formal para retirar la inmunidad parlamentaria a todos los miembros del hemiciclo, y se encuentra pendiente de votación.

 

El gobierno del AKP, con el pretexto de luchar contra el yihadismo desencadenó una macro-operación que hasta el momento se ha saldado con casi 3000 detenciones (prácticamente ninguna perteneciente a los medios yihadistas y afines), con lo cual no deja de ser irónico afirmar que el gobierno turco se suma a la lucha contra el Estado Islámico. Más bien persigue un objetivo meridianamente claro: aniquilar al Movimiento de Liberación Kurdo tanto en Turquía como en Rojava (Siria), más allá de perseguir el derrocamiento del gobierno de Assad, lo cual está siendo estimulado tanto por EEUU como por la UE. De no ser así, no se podría explicar por qué los miembros del ISIS campan a sus anchas a lo largo y ancho del territorio turco.

 

Los medios en el estado español se hacen eco de opiniones de especialistas militares del ejército, dando a entender que el apoyo a las facciones kurdas responden a un supuesto “interés” para Occidente, siempre y cuando no se rompan los lazos con el gobierno turco, como siempre la balanza se inclina a favor de las fuerzas imperialistas. Y dejan claro que los apoyos por parte de los militantes internacionalistas no son justificables. ¿No es justificable que un pueblo que está siendo víctima de la aniquilación se defienda?
