摘要

古吉拉特邦政府于2022年8月15日决定释放在Bilkis Bano案中被判处终身监禁的所有11名囚犯，这对Bilkis Barno本人的权利以及减刑和提前释放等改造性监狱措施的政策前景都产生了严重影响。在这里，我试图将释放放在一个更大的国家背景下，在这个背景下，以更长、更严厉的监禁为代表的死刑观念正在政府和司法部门中流行。我审视了释放囚犯的过程中存在严重缺陷，强调了政府的决定是非法的武断性和法律缺陷。

An Unjust Mercy: Locating the Illegalities in the Release of the Convicts in the Bilkis Bano Case

The Gujarat government’s decision on 15 August 2022, to release all 11 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano case has serious implications, both for the rights of Bilkis Bano herself and the policy landscape around reformative prison measures like remission and premature release. Here I attempt to locate the release within a larger national context wherein carceral notions of justice, typified by longer and harsher prison sentences, are gaining currency both within the government and judiciary. I examine the deeply flawed process by which the prisoners came to be released, highlighting the arbitrariness and legal infirmities that render the government’s decision illegal.

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Gender Studies is geared towards providing a more holistic understanding of society. Women and men are not compared mechanically. Rather, gender categories are analysed with a view to changing social attitudes and academic biases which obstruct a holistic understanding of contributions to the family, community and a wider polity. The journal focuses, among other issues, on violence as a phenomenon, the social organisation of the family, the invisibility of women"s work, institutional and policy analyses, women and politics, and motherhood and child care.
