We follow with increasing concern and dismay events related to efforts seeking redress for the victims of the carnage in Gujarat in 2002. We have witnessed the relentless harassment and intimidation of Teesta Setalvad, who has been working tirelessly and courageously for justice for these victims. She is targeted for character assassination, false allegations and threats to her personal security. In a concerted attempt to derail the course of justice, the Government of Gujarat has foisted four false criminal cases against her. She faces the very real threat of arrest.

The victims of 2002 have waited far too long for redress and justice. We urge you, therefore, to use the powers of your high office to ensure justice for the victims. We want you to make certain that the law and the process of justice take their proper course without being subverted or influenced by vested interests, however powerful. We demand that the Government of Gujarat cease the harassment and intimidation of Teesta Setalvad and other human rights defenders.

    • Perpetrators of crime against innocent citizens of Gujarat must be brought to trial and victims must have justice. To persecute an individual for defending the rights of the victims is an abomination.

    • The whistleblower's job that Teesta and colleagues have been doing in Gujarat is quite important to maintain the element of democracy. Efforts for arresting her should be seen as efforts to silent and penalise dissent voices in a democracy- which is not at all a welcome move, by whichsoever government.

    • In the most advanced criminal jurisdiction known so far (the ICC), Modi would count as a 'civilian commander' with 'command responsiblity' for the horrific murders and other crimes against humanity that were committed in Gujarat in 2002. It is a shocking reflection on the Indian judicial system that this man and hundreds of others who should be behind bars are still at large. Teesta has campaigned relentlessly for justice for the victims and there is nothing Modi would like to see more than her being silenced.
