ENSURE SPEEDY AND STRICT PUNISH,'AENT TO THE CULPRITS INTIMIDATING THE RAPE VICTIMHUNITE TO MAINTAIN THE GENDER-SE1~SITIVE CHARACTER OF OUR CAMPUS!!Friends, .
Date: 10/10/07We would like to congratulate the student community for participating in the Joint Protest.
Demonstration called by the JNUSU and JNUSA at the office of the Delhi Commission for Womenagainst the acts of the legal counsel for the rape victim from JNU. A few days back, the 5 year oldgirl was called along with her parents to the office by the legal counsel under the pretext of takingher statement. Asking the parents to leave the room, the counsel beat up the girl and threatenedher to not to identify the culprit. Such outrageous act on the part of the legal counsel towards thevictim clearly reflects the kind of nexus between corrupt officials and the culprits, thereby addingto the trauma of the rape victim. The other legal counsels in the DCW were forced by the JNUSUto take up a position against this act. After persistent pressure by the JNUSU, the Chairperson of.
DCW came down to the negotiating table and constituted a committee to enquire.into the wholeissue, which would submit its report in o tim·~~-br1und manner. Th:s ~ommittee wouid iociude 5members from JNU namely the three JNUSU office-bearers, a member of the JNUSA and RenuSingh, the former students' representative in GSCASH. The JNUSU demands that this committeeconduct its enquiry expeditiously and submits its report, so that the guilty can be brought to book..
The JNUSU also took up this matter with the National Women's Commission today and met Malini.
Bhattacharya, member of NCW in this regard. She has assured that the NCW would provide all.
help from its side, so that justice can be provided to the victim. The JNUSU reaffirms its pledge for a.
gender-sensitive campus, which has been made possible by numerous struggles have been.
waged by the collective strength of the students. JNUSU appeals to the students to maintain this.
legacy, by rallying unitedly to ensure that speedy and sensitive justice is provided to the victim by.
enforcing strict punishment of the culprits..
