Wednesday, 25 May , 2005, 20:41
New Delhi: The Amnesty International on Wednesday said certain initiatives by the UPA government could improve the human rights situation in the country.
However, it slammed the BJP government in Gujarat for "failure" to bring to justice those responsible for post-Godhra riots.
The Amnesty Report-2005 on state of the worldâs human rights, released simultaneously across the world, said the Congress-led UPA governmentâs initiatives, if implemented, could improve the human rights situation in the country.
"The government is taking certain initiatives and we feel that if those were implemented, it could help in improving the human rights situation in the country," deputy director of the Amnesty International, Asia Pacific, Madhu Malhotra said releasing the Amnesty International Report 2005.
Malhotra said, "In Gujarat, victims of the 2002 riots are continuing their struggle for justice while those responsible for the crime are enjoying impunity."
