BREAKING NEWS: CBI
Seeks Death Penalty for Jathedar Hawara
By: Sikh24 Editors
NEW DELHI (April 3, 2012)–Sikh24 has learned from sources
relating to Sikh Organization for Prisoner Welfare that Babbar Bhai Jagtar
Singh Hawara has been served notice that an appeal has been made by the CBI for
the death penalty to be applied in cases filed against him.
Bhai Hawara has been given until April 30th to file a response
to the appeal made by the CBI. Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara’s legal team has posed
a key question to him and the Sikh Panth, “Why is the same state which is
trying to free Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana from [the] death penalty now wanting
to hang [Hawara]?”
Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara is currently facing life imprisonment
for his involvement in the Beant “Singh” assassination case. The High Court had
announced a death sentence for Bhai Hawara, the mastermind behind the
assassination plot. According to court orders, Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara played
a key role in the assassination. Bhai Hawara had appealed his sentence, after
which his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
The Sikh Nation has worked hard to seek a stay on Bhai Balwant
Singh Rajoana’s execution. A similar fate for Bhai Hawara could mean further
harsh days for the community. Details about the CBI orders will be shared with
Sikh Sangat in the next few days. Bhai Hawara’s legal team is scheduled to hold
a live interview with the Sikh Channel, UK, tomorrow.
Major fraud by the CBI was unearthed by Laywers for Human Rights
International (LFHRI) in which they found proof that the CBI had never
appointed the prosecution lawyer. LFHRI had made an application to the Punjab
and Haryana High Court to dismiss the case and/or conviction in the Beant case
against Rajoana and all the other Singhs on the basis that the whole case is
tainted by fraud.
Beant “Singh” was responsible for mass genocide of Sikhs in the
1980′s and 90′s and was made accountable for his crimes against humanity by
Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh Babbar, Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara, Bhai Balwant Singh
Rajoana and others.
