Hyderabad: Students
Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) will take out a march to
parliament in New Delhi Thursday to demand an immediate end to
arrests of Muslim youth in "false cases".
SIO leaders condemned the arrests of innocent Muslim youth across
the country on false charges.
Addressing a news conference here, they said that through the
parliament march, they would try to highlight the problem and
create public awareness.
"Illegal arrest of Muslim youths across the country is a matter of
serious concern. It has become routine for the police and
investigating agencies to arrest Muslim youth and implicate in
false cases," said Atif Ismail, president of SIO's Andhra Pradesh
unit.
"These arrests are meant to suppress the morale of Muslim
community and subject them to identity crisis," said Ismail.
The SIO demanded that fast track courts be set up to try cases of
illegal arrests so that the victims got speedy justice. It also
sought rehabilitation of those acquitted by courts.
Another SIO leader Mujahid said arrests without warrant were
unacceptable. He demanded that Supreme Court orders must be
followed while arresting any suspect.
The SIO also demanded that communal violence bill be tabled and
passed in the winter session of parliament. It hoped that the bill
would provide protection to Muslims during communal riots.
