Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court of
India, to investigate the Gujarat Carnage of 2002 is planning to
file a closure report. This is a matter of anguish by several from
civil society.

In view of this,
many eminent citizens of Gujarat recently met, not only to voice
their concerns, but also to plan out a future course of action.  It
was also decided to write a letter to the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of India immediately to express their serious concerns
