On Wednesday 5th October 2011, Soni Sori was arrested from Delhi in a joint operation by the Crime Branch and the Chhattisgarh Police. Fearing for her life, she was hiding from the Chhattisgarh police who has labeled her as a 'maoist on the run' and had mounted this huge search operation. After her arrest, when she was produced in front of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) at a district court in Delhi, she together with her lawyers requested the court to give her bail and she herself pleaded that she should not be sent back as she fears that the Chattisgarh police will kill her. Her plea was rejected and on Friday she was handed over to the Chattiagarh police, the very same people who are a threat to her life.




Today on the 10th of October, 2011, we have learnt that Soni Sori could not be produced in the Court in Chattisgarh as she was admitted with injuries in District Hospital of Dantewada. See the video clippings which shows her in the X_Ray room writhing and howling in pain. Confirming severe custodial torture. We have been informed that she has injuries on the head and on the back. ( see video)




The police claim that 'she slipped in the bathroom and has hurt her head'.




It is clear that despite the rights of the accused enshrined in the Constituoin and Delhi High Court orders of the 7th if October for protection and safety of Soni Sori all have been openly and blatantly violated by the Chhattisgarh police.




We pray that she be rescued from the hands of the Chhattisgarh polie - that Soni Sori is immediately examined by a doctor, provided medical help and the report of her injuries is made public.

- that she is immediately transferred to Delhi.

- and that the police personnel who have tortured soni sori are immediately suspended and a high level enquiry is ordered.
