This brutality committed by perpetrators from an upper caste, as caste motivated hate crimes, must be condemned in the strongest way.<\/p>\n<p>Dalit and human rights organisations in the UK have issued an open joint statement condemning this heinous crime and demanding strict action against the culprits and also against those officials who tried to cover up this incident. Atrocities against women have become a matter of concern and shame for all who love humanity and India.<\/p>\n<p>Santosh Dass MBE, President, FABO UK said that the case of Miss Manisha Valmiki is yet another sickening gang rape and murder of a Dalit woman that has caused global outrage. &#8220;Everything about the clear failure and cover-up in handling of this case is abhorrent, including reports that Manisha\u2019s body was set alight by petrol in a so-called cremation in the middle of the night. Members of Manisha\u2019s family were not allowed to conduct the funeral, be present, or to carry out the last rites. This is cruelty beyond measure. My heart as a woman and mother bleeds knowing this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Chief Minister of UP, Mr Yogi Adityanath, whose worldview on women is that they are not capable of being left free or independent, must resign. We also demand that he and the police officers and officials concerned must be charged under the SC\/ST Atrocities Act and the rapists be arrested,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Arun Kumar, the General Secretary, FABO UK said that the\u00a0gang rape of this young Dalit woman is not the first one and won\u2019t be the last one. &#8220;We read stories every day where Dalit women are beaten, paraded naked, raped, and killed. The numbers are increasing every day. After this brutal incident, such crimes have occurred in Balrampur, Azamgarh, and Bulandshehar. These are all caste motivated hate crimes.\u00a0These brutalities become news items and are forgotten. It is time to act and stop these heinous crimes. The culprits must be punished in a set period of time. The officials who try to cover up such crimes must be sacked and\u00a0charged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Arun said that if India wants to become a world leader, it must respect and give equal treatment to all, irrespective of their caste, religion, and gender.\u00a0An open joint statement undersigned by Dalit and other organisations in the UK was submitted to the High Commissioner of India in London and read as follows:<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p1\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s1\"><b>Open Joint Statement to the High Commissioner of India in London for the attention of the Prime Minister of India \u2013 2 October 2020<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">1. We the undersigned organisations and our supporters demand immediate justice for Miss Manisha Valmiki who died in hospital on 29 September 2020 from extreme injuries sustained from a brutal gang-rape on 14 September in<\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s3\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">Hathras,<\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s3\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">Utter Pradesh (UP), India.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">2. Amongst our demands below, we also demand the resignation of the Chief Minister of UP and that the police officers involved be charged under the SC\/ST Atrocities Act.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s1\">Enough is enough!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">3. Miss Manisha Valmiki\u2019s is yet another sickening gang rape and murder of a Dalit woman that has caused global outrage.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s4\">This case raises many serious questions about the apathy of the Indian government, police and the hospital authorities.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"x_gmail-s5\">Despite repeated pleas from the family, the local police failed to register a case of gang rape leaving the accused to roam around free for five days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p6\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">4. If Miss Manisha\u2019s death wasn\u2019t enough, the local police officers and officials violated her dead body and cremated it in the middle of the night without allowing members of her family to be present or to carry out the last rites. This is cruelty beyond measure. Furthermore, it is reported the police are stopping politicians meeting the family to support and sympathise with them. It is also reported the family have been threatened and their phones have been confiscated. We will never forgive or forget this \u2013 how India is failing its daughters.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">5. Miss Manisha\u2019s murder has once again shone a light on India\u2019s horrific Caste system, a system that ranks human value based on the presumed supremacy of the so-called high Castes. India\u2019s Government despite its slogan \u2018Beti bachao, beti padhao\u2019 has failed Dalit girls and women. Dalit lives are considered worthless and have been for millennia.<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Essentially, the Indian Government has failed Indians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">6. The\u00a0<i>Guardian<\/i>\u00a0rightly reported on 1 October \u201c<i>India is the most dangerous country in the world to be a woman and it is women from the lower castes who bear the brunt of the sexual violence<\/i>\u201d. The 2019 data Crime in India states 10 Dalit women were raped in India everyday. One third of these cases were reported from the lawless states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.\u00a0<i>Reported<\/i>\u00a0is the operative word. A culture of patriarchy and maintaining family honour means there are many more that are not formally reported to the police.\u00a0<span class=\"x_gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">7. In other cases there is evidence police fail to even register the crimes. This is unacceptable. These casual rapes and gang rapes of Dalit women and girls, where so-called high Caste rapists go free with impunity point to a failed democracy and sick society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p3\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s5\">8. From 2018, the rate of crime against all women in India has risen by 7.3%, with the country recording an average 87 rape cases every day in 2019. India reported 405,861 cases of crimes against women in 2019 and Uttar Pradesh topped the list with 59,853 such incidents, according to the annual National Crime Record Bureau\u2019s \u201cCrime in India\u201d 2019 report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_gmail-p8\"><span class=\"x_gmail-s2\">9.
