Your Majesties, Your Royal Highness, Honourable Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen. ----------------- [2] From: "Shivam" <lists@shivamvij.com> Date: Mon Dec 12, 2005 Subject: Yet another ragging suicide. And nobody's heard of it. This one didn't get any media attention. If any of you can help it get further coverage, that would be very nice. An IIM alumnus gets shot dead in a small town in UP and the IIM alumni community is strong enough to push him through to page one for several days - and thankfully so. But who will speak up for Sridhar. If you blog, please write about this. There are only two reports online - Mumbai Mirror and Asian Age - and both of them are very inaccessible. Had to do a lot of juggling in the Mumbai Miror archives to get the story below and it does not even mention the name of the college! Please spread the word about this. This is the 12th recorded ragging death since the Supreme Court banned ragging in May 2001. Shivam o o o o o Student commits suicide after ragging Wednesday, December 07, 2005, Chennai, Mumbai Mirror Link: http://www.mumbaimirror.com/nmirror/search/mmsearch.asp?query=§id=4&articleid=1262005203615187126200520361431&pubyear=2005&pubday=7&pubmth=12 By Jayaraj Sivan A first year Biotechnology student of an engineering college near here committed suicide on Monday night, allegedly owing to ragging by his seniors. The deceased, Sridhar, 18, son of Ramakrishna Reddy of Tirupathy in Andhra Pradesh, had hung himself on the fan hook in his hostel room using his bedspread, police said. His parents told police that about a month ago their son had complained of ragging by seniors. However, they were not in a position to name anybody in particular. Sridhar was alone in his room on Monday night. His room-mate Shankar had gone out and returned only on Tuesday morning. Seeing the room locked from inside, Shankar knocked repeatedly. When it evoked no response, he informed warden Raja. They broke open the door and found him dead.

President Vicente Fox announced the decree, based on a constitutional change approved by the Mexican Senate in a 79-2 vote last March. 'Through the reform of our constitution, the ultimate penalty has been stricken from our laws,' Fox said Friday. Mexico last executed a prisoner in 1961, but Mexico and the U.S. have clashed repeatedly over the years over Mexicans sentenced to die by U.S. courts. In 2002, Fox cancelled a visit to U.S. President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, after Texas executed a Mexican convicted of fatally shooting a police officer. Fox argued that the Javier Suarez Medina was denied access to Mexican consular officials, which the U.S. was obligated to grant under an international treaty. ?© dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur --------------------------------- |
