No Justice Yet For Moinul Haque, Stomped On After Being Shot 2 Yrs Ago & Thousands Of Others Evicted In Assam
Since the death of a 12-year-old boy and a 30-year-old farmer—stomped on by a police photographer after being shot—during evictions of about 1,300 Bengali-speaking Muslim families in northern Assam in 2021, their brothers have waged a fruitless battle for justice. The government has not made postmortem reports available to the families, and it appears to have lied to the Gauhati High Court about rehabilitation. The government called them ‘illegal encroachers’, but many had paid land taxes for decades. A farm project for indigenous youth, justification for the evictions, appears to be floundering, with milk from cows imported from Gujarat drying up.
