formed in the context of the rejection of mercy petitions of Perarrvalan, .

. September 2011 hanging order, SADP sat on indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar on 281h August, 2011. After the historic judgement of 301h August in which the Madras High Court stayed the hanging order for 8 weeks and the Tamil Nadu assembly unanimously passed the resolution for commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment, SADP invited all organisations and concerned individuals to join in. Till day the organisations which are part of SADP are-AIBSF, AISA, AISF, DTSU, PSU, SFR and other forums such as Coordination Committee for Oppressed Nationalities (CCON), Untouchable India, and many concerned students. The SADP has decided to undertake a campaign for the abolition of death penalty in a sustained manner. In this regard we are going to organise various cultural programmes, public meetings, film screenings and convention.. .
SADP balieves that death penalty is a blot on humanity. "Death Penalty is nothing but a judicially sanctioned murder, executed on a planned date and timet! says Former Justice of Supreme Court V.R.Krishna lver. As many as 132 countries have abolished capital punishment, no matter how awful the crime or how savage the criminal. But India despite priding itself on a highly evolved 'rule of law' system has steadfastly stuck to the punishment. In addition to death penalty, the Indian State has been implementing many draconian laws such as AFSPA, TADA, GUJCOCA, MACOCA, POTA, the notorious tools in the hands of State to kill innocent citizens. But masses are resisting too, Irom Sharmila is an example who has been on hunger strike for more than a decade now. .
Death Penalty Colonial Legacy : Death penalty in India largely figured in British Indian Penal System alon-g with transportation for lite-kala pani. Post-1947 India retained the majority of legal statutes put in place by its colonial master. This included the IPC, 1860 and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. India follows the principle of the ~rarest of the rare cases' and claims to be complying with the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) wherein death penalty is abolished. rn this context, it is worth mentioning the 35th Report of the Law Commission of India, which is the basis of retention of capital punishment in the statute book. It reads, 'Having regard to the condition in India, to the variety of social upbringing of its inhabitants. to the disparity in the level of morality and education, emergence of terrorism on a large scale in the country and the paramo~nt need for maintaining of law and order in the country. India cannot risk the abolition of capital punishment.' .
Rarest of the Rare a farcical mechanism: The doctrine of 'rarest of rare' case is superfluous as it is vague. There sno uniform guideline for its application. The quantum of punishment varies according to the nature i.e. caste, class of a judge (subjective satisfaction) in awarding 'death' or 'life'. Further, capital punishment is awarded not only in the ~rarest of rare' cases but also on a wide variety of cases. The Indian State is widening its scope to less serious offences which do not even come within the framework of rarest cases. According to Rajindar Sachar, 'after the rarest of rare doctrine was introduced in 1980. the Supreme Court confirmed death penalty in 50 percent of cases in the period 1980-90 while it was 37.7 per cent between 1970 and 1980. For the High Courts it rose from 59 percent in 1970-80 to 65 per cent during 198Q-90.' Over the past 15 years the death penalty has been extended to inctude more crimes and been handed down with increasing frequency. Paradoxically thusl while the 'rarest of !he rare' doctrine was to be used to limit and restrict the use of the mandatory death penalty, it has often done the opposite. The toiling masses, people of oppressed nationalities have almost cent-percent 'reservation' in it. Twelve MCCI members were awarded capital punishments in Sara case whereasBrahameshwar Mukhia. the leader/founder of Ranvir Sena who massacred and raped hundreds of dalits got scot free despite having all evidences against him. The Khairlanji murder accused were awarded death sentence.earlier and then last year it was commuted to 25 years of imprisonment. Anderson, responsible for the murder of thousands of peol\)le in Bhopal Gas Tragedy is shielded by the Indian State. The murderers of more than 2000 Muslims in Gujarat are stm out despite all evidences against them. The 'soldiers in Kashmir who are killing people. get no punishment. Army is raoing women_in Kashmir. Chattlsgarh. Jharkhand, North-East without any fear of punishment. Police·is killing people all over th·e countrv by indisCr-iminately firing on the protesting people, but they never get any punishment-be it the case of Pune, Forbesganj or Tamil Nadt:J-:where 3 days .
back five dalits were killed in potice firing", We have examples of Jhaiiar, Gohana, Mirchpur, Khairlanii, L~xamanp~r.bathe and many others where the killers are never punished. Adivasi and Dalit cultural activists Jeeten Marandi, Anil Ram. Manoj Rajwar an~ Chhatrapati Mandai were given death sentence in the name of curbing 'maoism'. It was proved with all evi~ences~~that Hindu~a terror groups are behind many bomb blasts in the country, but at the end of the dav. nothing happens ·to ,them. It is aon efldless story. .

For February I decided not to use a calender and instead cut out a bunch of paper hearts. Then for each week I made a little book and tied it together with a piece of ribbon. I didn't like how much they were moving around so I stapled them together so I wouldn't loose any of my sentences.

24 year-old Charly Pitman, of Brislington, Bristol, was found guilty of riot following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in April. On 7th July 2022 she was sentenced to three years in prison.
During her trial jurors heard how she positioned herself at the front of the crowd challenging police officers as they attempted to separate them from the neighbourhood police station.
They were shown footage of her acting aggressively towards the officers, striking their shields and helmets, and were told her actions caused them and others to fear for their safety.
Judge Julian Lambert said Pitman made a conscious decision not to leave the riot and encouraged others to attack police officers. He added jurors decided quickly there was ‘no basis for self-defence’, as Pitman had claimed during the trial.
Including Pitman, those jailed for offences committed during the riot have been imprisoned for a combined total of 74 years and nine months.
