Hyderabad: Ahead of Ambedkar Jayanti, the Telangana State Committee of Human Rights Forum has urged chief minister A Revanth Reddy to pardon 102 prisoners, including six women serving life imprisonment.
In a letter to the chief minister, the committee said. “We welcome the government’s decision to consider premature release of the convicts according to the guidelines of the Supreme Court. The decision reflects the government’s commitment to justice, compassion and reformation.”
The committee also said that it is aware that another batch of prisoners serving life sentences is being considered for premature release under Government Order 126.
The committee urged the CM to announce the release dates at the earliest. “We earnestly request that the 102 prisoners be released on April 14, Ambedkar Jayanti.
