  • AAP accuses CBI of mentally torturing Sisodia in its custody

    AAP accuses CBI of mentally torturing Sisodia in its custody

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Sunday accused the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of mentally torturing former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and forcing him to sign a false confession paper in custody.

    The former deputy of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI on February 26 in connection with the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

    Speaking at a press conference here, Atishi questioned the CBI’s actions while highlighting “the agency’s failure to prove any corruption charges against Sisodia”.

    The AAP legislator from Kalkaji constituency asserted that despite thousands of hours of investigation, the full-time involvement of over 500 officers, thousands of pages of chargesheets, and over 50 hours of raids, “the investigation agencies have not been able to prove the corruption of even one rupee against Sisodia”.

    She said that stories of torture in police custody, putting pressure, and forcing people to sign false confessions are often heard.

    “If this could happen to Delhi’s former Deputy Chief Minister, it is a matter of great concern for the entire country, and there is a possibility that it could happen to anyone in the future,” she said.

    Atishi further said that Sisodia was neither named in the CBI’s first chargesheet, nor was his name mentioned in the probe agency’s supplementary chargesheet.

    “Then it was predicted that his name might appear on the ED’s chargesheet. However, Manish Sisodia was not even named in the chargesheet submitted by the ED,” she said, adding his name did not appear on any of these chargesheets, as neither the CBI nor the ED has any evidence against him.

    The AAP legislator also accused the CBI of arresting Sisodia without any evidence “to please its political masters”.

    “He was arrested on the basis of a false charge of non-cooperation and that his arrest was not made on the basis of any evidence or documentary proof,” she said.

  • Iran sentences mentally ill man to death over alleged Quran burning

    Iran sentences mentally ill man to death over alleged Quran burning

    [ad_1]

    Tehran: The Iran’s Revolutionary Court (IRC) has sentenced a mentally ill man to death on charges of apostasy for allegedly burning a holy Quran during the early phase of the protests triggered by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, local media reported.

    35-year-old Javad Rouhi, who suffers from a severe mental illness, was accused of entering a local traffic police headquarters in September 2022, along with two others, and setting the building on fire, including copies of the Quran.

    Rouhi, was sentenced to death on three charges— waging war against God, corruption on earth and apostasy. He was detained on September 22, 2022.

    After his arrest, he was transferred to a detention center supervised by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. He was left unable to speak and walk after being severely tortured while in detention.

    According to Mizan Agency, which is run by Iran’s judiciary, the head of the province’s supreme court said that Rouhi “admitted the fact that he destroyed the headquarters and set it on fire.”

    Rouhi was prevented from appointing a lawyer of his choice, as court authorities required him to be represented by state advocate Habibullah Qazvini.

    The judiciary had already carried out death sentences against four people who were convicted of assaulting security men on the sidelines of the protests that took place in various parts of the country and are approaching the completion of their fourth month.

    Of the 18 death sentences, four have been carried out and two others have been approved by the Supreme Court. 

    Since September 16, Iran has been witnessing protests following the death of Amini, three days after she was arrested by the morality police for not adhering to the strict rules of dress in the Islamic Republic.
