  • Killing of Mr. Niyamat Ansari, Human Rights Defender of Workers' Rights
    www.fidh.org India 24 March 2011 Killing of Mr. Niyamat Ansari, human rights defender of workers' rights The Observatory has been informed by People's Watch of the killing of Mr. Niyamat Ansari, human rights activist engaged in the defence of workers' rights in Manika Block, Latehar District, State of Jharkhand, as well as of death threats received by his associate Mr. Bhukhan Singh. Mr. Niyamat Ansari was notably documenting cases of corruption related to the implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)[1]. The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), requests your urgent intervention in the following situation in India. Description of the situation: According to the information received, on March 2, 2011, a group of armed men came to the residence of Mr. Niyamat Ansari, in the locality of Jerua, in the village of Kope. They took him away and reportedly brutally beat him for nearly one hour. After they left the village, members of his family found him unconscious and carried him by foot over a distance of ten kilometres, from Jerua village to Manika police station, where an ambulance was sent to bring him to Latehar Sadar Hospital. Mr. Niyamat Ansari died soon after reaching the hospital. The armed men were allegedly also seeking Mr. Bhukhan Singh, but the latter was able to hide. The killing of Mr. Niyamat Ansari is believed to be related to his work in favour of workers subjected to the MGNREGA and his denunciation of corruption in relation to this employment scheme in the State of Jharkhand.

Problems of the people associated with production of documentary films due to non-compliance of directions of the Supreme Court of India SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI: The producers of short- films, technicians and the people engaged in this field are encouraged in all the countries of the world. In our country, a conspiracy is being hatched to render thousands of short-film makers and lakhs of technicians, photographers and artists unemployed due to vested interests of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the bureaucracy. The Government, in order to pressurise the owners of multiplexes, has asked them to show films produced by Films Divisions only and not produced by the private producers. The Supreme Court has given a clear direction to the Government in this regard . Hence, the private producers should also be allowed to make films and the directions of the Supreme Court should be complied with. ___________________________________________________ ∗This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 188 (Miss Anusuiya Uikey, Dr. Bharatkumar Raut, Shri Nand Kumar Sai, Shri V.P.

Those working to promote and protect the rights of marginalised groups also faced serious reprisals, including when protesting against development projects that threaten or destroy the land, natural resources and livelihood of their communities. Defenders of women's rights and of environmental rights were also targeted, and several activists who denounced corruption were assassinated. Political context In 2010-2011, the Government of India was forced to battle the consequences of an increased Naxalite (Maoist) insurgency in seven States, which was singled out by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on April 21, 2010 as the biggest internal security threat, asserting that "no quarter can be given to those challenging the authority of the Indian State". Despite lengthy peace talks with Pakistan, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir also remained volatile. In the context of both conflicts, security forces frequently resorted to excessive use of force and were responsible for extrajudicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances and other forms of violence, often without being held accountable.
