Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Secret letter exposes Pak barbarism on jail inmates’ DE Aug 3. The letter signed by 11 Indian prisones in Kot Lakhpat Rai jail reveals their miserable condition. They are being treated worse than animals and are living in sub-human conditions. It was expected that after the killing of Sarabjit Singh in that jail things would change for Indian prisoners. But nothing has changed, nor will their lot change ever in the future unless the Government of India and world human rights bodies put pressure on Pak Government to improve their lot.
The letter exposes the hollow claims of the Pak jail authorities that Indian prisoners are safe and sound. It reveals the dark side of jail authorities who are bent on making life difficult for these prisoners. The Government of India should take the matter with Pakistan at diplomatic level and convey our concern over this sensitive issue.
Otherwise, there will be many more Sarabjits.
Yours etc……..
