&lt;br /&gt;
The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) through an appeal on Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to abolish death penalty and spare Veerappan&#039;s associates - Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran from the impending execution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If India continues with the current spree of execution of those whose mercy pleas are rejected or those who could not file mercy pleas, India will become one of the top five executioners of the world joining China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. India considered cases of at least 5,776 death row convicts between 2001 and 2011, of which 4,321 convicts&#039; death sentences were commuted to life sentences and 1,455 convicts&#039; death sentences were confirmed by the Courts,&amp;quot; said Suhas Chakma, director, ACHR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru,&amp;quot; said Chakma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2011, Illinois became the 16th State of the United States to abolish death penalty while China removed the death penalty in as many as 13 crimes, while adding at least two new capital crimes, during the same year.

These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru,&amp;quot; said Chakma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed.&lt;br /&gt;

The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) through an appeal on Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to abolish death penalty and spare Veerappan&#039;s associates - Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran from the impending execution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If India continues with the current spree of execution of those whose mercy pleas are rejected or those who could not file mercy pleas, India will become one of the top five executioners of the world joining China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. India considered cases of at least 5,776 death row convicts between 2001 and 2011, of which 4,321 convicts&#039; death sentences were commuted to life sentences and 1,455 convicts&#039; death sentences were confirmed by the Courts,&amp;quot; said Suhas Chakma, director, ACHR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru,&amp;quot; said Chakma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed.&lt;br /&gt;

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) through an appeal on Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to abolish death penalty and spare Veerappan&#039;s associates - Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran from the impending execution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If India continues with the current spree of execution of those whose mercy pleas are rejected or those who could not file mercy pleas, India will become one of the top five executioners of the world joining China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. India considered cases of at least 5,776 death row convicts between 2001 and 2011, of which 4,321 convicts&#039; death sentences were commuted to life sentences and 1,455 convicts&#039; death sentences were confirmed by the Courts,&amp;quot; said Suhas Chakma, director, ACHR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru,&amp;quot; said Chakma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2011, Illinois became the 16th State of the United States to abolish death penalty while China removed the death penalty in as many as 13 crimes, while adding at least two new capital crimes, during the same year.

The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) through an appeal on Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to abolish death penalty and spare Veerappan's associates - Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran from the impending execution.<br />
<br />
These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India.<br />
<br />
&quot;If India continues with the current spree of execution of those whose mercy pleas are rejected or those who could not file mercy pleas, India will become one of the top five executioners of the world joining China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. India considered cases of at least 5,776 death row convicts between 2001 and 2011, of which 4,321 convicts' death sentences were commuted to life sentences and 1,455 convicts' death sentences were confirmed by the Courts,&quot; said Suhas Chakma, director, ACHR.<br />
<br />
All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged.<br />
<br />
Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh.<br />
<br />
&quot;Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru,&quot; said Chakma.<br />
<br />
According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed.<br />
<br />
By 2011, Illinois became the 16th State of the United States to abolish death penalty while China removed the death penalty in as many as 13 crimes, while adding at least two new capital crimes, during the same year.

India set to be among world's top five executioners; PM urged to stop execution of Veerappan's associates -Manash Pratim Gohain

-The Times of India The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) through an appeal on Monday urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to abolish death penalty and spare Veerappan's associates - Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran from the impending execution. These associates of Veerappan were sentenced to death in 2004 in connection with a landmine blast at Palar in Karnataka in 1993 in which 22 police personnel were killed and their mercy pleas were recently rejected by the President of India. "If India continues with the current spree of execution of those whose mercy pleas are rejected or those who could not file mercy pleas, India will become one of the top five executioners of the world joining China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. India considered cases of at least 5,776 death row convicts between 2001 and 2011, of which 4,321 convicts' death sentences were commuted to life sentences and 1,455 convicts' death sentences were confirmed by the Courts," said Suhas Chakma, director, ACHR. All political parties in Tamil Nadu have been opposing execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan who were convicted for the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Nadu State Assembly passed a resolution in August 2011 urging that these death-row convicts should not be hanged. Similarly, political parties in Punjab have opposed the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted for murder of former chief minister Beant Singh. "Since the Government of India cannot execute those convicted of the murder of Rajiv Gandhi and Beant Singh, it appears that Gnanaprakash, Simon, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilavendran will be executed to address the negative fallout following the execution of Afzal Guru," said Chakma. According to NCHR, death penalty as a deterrent against any crime has been found to be invalid and at present about 140 out of 193 members states of the United Nations have abolished death penalty in law and practice. Even in the countries were death penalty is practiced, the governments are either abolishing death penalty or reducing the number of offences for which death penalty can be imposed. By 2011, Illinois became the 16th State of the United States to abolish death penalty while China removed the death penalty in as many as 13 crimes, while adding at least two new capital crimes, during the same year.
