Rights

I had started a review on the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal on March 3, in favour of Rajesh Mathura, who was attacked by prisoners in the cell downstairs San Fernando Magistrates’ Court. A prisoner tried to burn him alive by setting fire to his jersey. He was beaten over the head with a piece of iron and his back slashed with a razor blade.

We are fortunate to live in a country with a constitution that guarantees each and every citizen fundamental human rights that are enshrined and protected. The constitution is the supreme law of the land, and not even Parliament can take away your fundamental rights and freedoms.
