Yesterday was a very unsettling day. Met family members of MamiranNessa

She is in detention centre since 2010.When she was detained,her youngest son was 2,anr 9yrs old. Both brothers were brought up by elder sister who was still a minor, she dropped out of school &worked as maid
The youngest son was taken to detention centre twice in last 9 years. He don't recognize his mother

Their father couldn't eat and sleep and slowly fell ill, he was mostly confined to bed. In last 9 years he went to detention centre only once to see his wife
He couldn't muster courage to see his wife again behind bar.

2 months ago he suffered a cardiac arrest and died, his final wish to see his wife free remain unfulfilled. Till now Momiran has not been told about the death of her husband.
Entire family has been destroyed. The children can't speak two lines without breaking down

Needless to say her entire family is Indian citizens.
Mamiran was randomly marked a doubtful voter in 1997 without any investigation whatsoever. Subsequently she was declared a foreigner, she had no competent legal representation.

How long will a constitutional democracy do this to its own citizens??
A new detention centres is coming up at Goalpara Assam. It will hold around 2800 detainees.

Around 45 crores was sanctioned for its construction. Imagine how much more will it require annually to keep people under detention

Tax payers money to violate basic fundamental rights
There is widespread support for detention centres ,even by those who masquerade as "liberals".

Hope there is special place in hell for those who supports detention centres.
