  • January 2013
    January1 of 91. 2013 International affairs: US President Barack Obama on 31 January, has come out with his much-awaited comprehensive immigration reforms, that will pave the way for legalization of more than 11 million undocumented immigrants. The reforms, which also propose to eliminate the annual country caps in the employment category, are expected to benefit large number of Indian technocrats and professionals. In a major policy speech on comprehensive immigration in Las Vegas, Obama urged the Congress to act on his proposals. The other key proposals of his "comprehensive" reform plan include "stapling" a green card to the diplomas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), PhD and Masters Degree graduates from qualified US universities who have found employment in the country. The President also proposed to create a startup visa for job-creating entrepreneurs. The proposal allows foreign entrepreneurs, who attract financing or revenue from American investors and customers, to start and grow their businesses in the US, and to remain permanently if their companies grow further, create jobs for American workers, and strengthen the economy. The proposal removes the backlog for employment-sponsored immigration by eliminating annual country caps and adding additional visas to the system. Outdated legal immigration programs are reformed to meet current and future demands by exempting certain categories from annual visa limitations, the White House said. Obama also proposed to eliminate existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers. The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from seven per cent to 15 per cent for the family-sponsored immigration system.

  • Indian Prisoners at Risk of Imminent Execution
    UA: 85/13 Index: ASA 20/017/2013 India Date: 05 April 2013 URGENT ACTION INDIAN PRISONERS AT RISK OF IMMINENT EXECUTION The Indian President has rejected the mercy petitions of at least seven people, putting them at risk of imminent execution. The government has not, however, disclosed the names of those who are now at risk of execution. Decisions have been made by the Indian President on mercy petitions involving at least nine people. Petitions involving at least seven people have been rejected. These numbers could be higher as the Government has not yet confirmed details about the decisions. Media reports from jail authorities’ statements suggest that Dharampal’s mercy petition has been rejected. He was found guilty of the murder of five people and the Supreme Court confirmed his death sentence in 1999. Reports suggest that on 05 April he will be moved to a prison that is equipped to carry out executions, raising fears that he is likely to be executed within days. Based on previous communication issued by the government, it is understood that the petitions of Gurmeet Singh, Suresh and Ramji have also been rejected, and they are at risk of imminent execution. Gurmeet Singh was convicted for the murder of 13 people in 1986. The Supreme Court confirmed his conviction and death sentence only in 2005, almost 20 years after the crime was committed. Suresh and Ramji were also convicted for multiple murders, and the Supreme Court confirmed their sentences in 2001. As the government has not stated which petitions were commuted and which were rejected, at least one of the following individuals who had mercy petitions pending could also be at risk of execution: Sanjeev, Sonia (f), Praveen Kumar, Jafar Ali, Sundar Singh, Shivu, Jadeswamy, B.A.

  • Open Letter to the President of India, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, the Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh and the Indian Home Minister, Mr Sushilkumar Shinde
    Chair: Kirsty Brimelow QC │ Vice-Chair: Sudanshu Swaroop London, 21st August 2013 Open Letter to the President of India, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, the Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh and the Indian Home Minister, Mr Sushilkumar Shinde. In the matter of the immediate risk of execution of Professor Devinderpal Singh Bhullar The Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales (“BHRC”) writes concerning the recent rejection on 14th August 2013 by the Supreme Court of India of the review petition by Professor Bhullar against his sentence of capital punishment. Reports suggest that his execution now is imminent and may be carried out this week. Following our open letter to the Indian Government of 5th June 2013, we continue to strongly urge the Indian Government to stay the execution and commute the sentence of capital punishment forthwith. BHRC expresses urgent concern that the Indian government intends to execute an inmate who is mentally incapacitated, contrary to the norms and provisions of customary international law. Professor Bhullar has been receiving treatment at a psychiatric facility, and a medical board has reportedly stated that he is suffering from severe depression and shows symptoms of psychosis and suicidal tendencies. There is no dispute that he is mentally ill. Customary international law prohibits the execution of prisoners deemed to be of unsound mind. In particular, U.N. ECOSOC, Implementation of the Safeguards Guaranteeing Protection of the Rights of those Facing the Death Penalty (ECOSOC Res. 1996/15, U.N. Doc. E/CN.15/1996/15, Jul. 23, 1996) requires the elimination of the death penalty for "persons suffering from mental retardation or extremely limited mental competence, whether at the stage of sentence or execution." The UN Human Rights Committee has stated in a number of cases that the execution of severely mentally ill prisoners amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in violation of Article 7 of the ICCPR (for example, in Francis v Jamaica Communication No.
