Imrana' s case

Following is exactly copied from 'Hells angels' Blog ,
Please read it and and respond



RESPOND!!!!

的ndependence・

擢reedom・

摘quality・

Know these words?

Imrana ・Remember her? The lady was ordered by the Shariat courts (run by men, of course), to accept her father-in-law as her new husband, after he blithely raped her (mother of his FIVE grandchildren).

This week, her case comes up for verdict at the Meerut court.

It sometimes is VITAL that people respond・BR>

There are educated people on the net.

There are a few who will come through here.

There are those whose blogs are far more popular than mine will ever be.

If you feel as well, post on your blogs too, of Imrana, of Justice

This is not about Islam

This is not about one dignified young woman, fighting for justice

This is about our duty to stand up for what is right・BR>

P.S. - This post is of "New Man".... not mine... dint hv nuf time 2 ri8 ma own stuf... jus spredin da news was imp.... n em doin dat.... peace

More about response.(Blog by "NEW MAN" on 17 oct 06 : 00.07

I am thankful for a friend who posted my blog on Imrana.

As I knew there would be, there were a few responses there, on her blog.

Someone said that there should be an initiative from somewhere.

Someone else says that he will join if somebody else starts something. Or, he says that we are only insulting Imrana.

I will say this - firstly, we must be aware of what goes on - so spread the message. That is a response.

Secondly, let us not think globally. Not nationally. Not in our states. Respond in our community - even our own home.

How much do I respect the women in my home? In my community?
Answering those questions is a response.

Then go out, say no ONCE, to some injustice to Woman.

That is a response.

Let the wave grow like ripples in the pond of our apathy. Make the time. YOU deserve to do this as much as women need this to be done.

I am one voice - so is each one of you out there.

Together, we are a chorus.

Raise the chorus.

Let us not be "activists" who come to a meeting, spew poetic words and tears (brought about by their own eloquence), and then disappear into the nearest airconditioned restaurant or bar, to drown their "emotions".

No - let us be individuals, quietly going about our business - but responding in our little ways.

Perhaps, I won't be able to help Imrana. Not a thousand Imranas. But someday, someday in the near future, I hope to help their daughters.

P.S. - This edited portion is what "New Man" has to say about the comments I got in my blog.

One Last Word about Imrana (Blog by "NEW MAN" on20 oct 06 : 18.55


Imrana's tormentor has been sentenced to TEN YEARS in prison!

Civil society has responded to one act of barbarity.

It is beside the point if the accused will serve his ten years or not.

It is beside the point if the verdict is changed or not.

It is a matter of principle.

It is all about the limits to man, if he wants to live in Society.

Now, what we need is an awareness in all of us, to forestall any repetitions of such stories.

P.S - Jus have one question to any one who'z reading this...what do ya think is the right punishment for 'rape'?...nevr got a suitable punishment....

I THINK THIS WOULD BE THE LAST BLOG OF NEWMAN ON THIS MATTER...AND LAST ONE OF THE SHAMELESS COPY/PASTE ACT BY ME...I DON THINK SORRY CAN EXPLAIN THIS ACT...BUT STILL SORRY FOLKS...A LITTLE FUCKED UP WITH MY LIFE...WILL BE BACK WITH A BANG...FOR SURE...TILL THEN..PEACE
