Don’t victims of violent crime and their families have a right to justice?
What business is it of Amnesty’s if different societies want to use the death penalty?

We share the extreme anguish and pain of the family of the victim and in no way wish to further their suffering. But we appeal to the Govt of India to halt the cycle of violence and stop the executions of the 4 convicted.
Executions do not stop violence against women.

#NirbhayaCase hearing in #SupremeCourt on point of separate hanging of convicts: SG Tushar Mehta, appearing for the #DelhiPolice & #Delhi Govt says trial court couldn't have extended the date of execution after the seven-day period given by the HC had got over.
AP Singh, lawyer for two convicts, submits in the #SupremeCourt that Akshay's second mercy petition is still pending.
Mehta says the convicts are making a mockery of the system. They can't keep coming back to court with one plea or another & getting it delayed for all.

Justice R Banumathi: "Delhi High Court has now given them a week to avail all possible legal remedies."

#NirbhayaCase convicts' lawyer AP Singh may not have the best legal arguments to make in a courtroom but he surely knows how to manipulate the system.
Hours after Akshay's review petition gets junked, he has got Vinay to file a plea in #Delhi HC, claiming he was a minor in 2012.
Hours after Akshay's review petition gets junked, he has got Vinay to file a plea in #Delhi HC, claiming he was a minor in 2012.
A sessions judge held against Vinay's juvenility claim in Dec 2018 but Singh got the #NirbhayaCase convict to sign on Dec 12 an appeal against this order. Singh has got a school leaving certificate to claim Vinay was a minor. #Delhi HC will hear the plea tomorrow.
Correction: #NirbhayaCase convict claiming juvenility is Pawan, not Vinay.
Vinay is the one whose mercy petition was filed before President, recommended for rejection by #Delhi Govt & MHA. And then AP Singh entered the scene, said Vinay never signed it while seeking to withdraw
