Prisoners Rights

The family and friends of the prisoners, as well as the inmates themselves are anxiously awaiting the Government Orders in order to be released. They fear that their release may either be delayed or put off if the upcoming Parliament Elections are announced and the subsequent election code comes into existence.

We desire the government to release all Life Convicts who have completed 14 years of sentence including remission period, with no reference to the criminal sections. We request the Government to review the issue of the prisoners undergoing substantive sentence with sympathy and release them prematurely. Those who are sentenced under Cr.PC 302 and completed 7 years actual sentence and 3 years remission period be released.
