Justice for Sahazadi, a 23-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh, India, has been sentenced to death in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This shocking decision has sparked outrage and calls for justice from all corners of the world. It is a blatant violation of human rights and a grave injustice that must not be tolerated.
Sahazadi’s story is one that is all too familiar in today’s world. She was a young, innocent woman who went to the UAE in search of better job opportunities. Little did she know that her life would be turned upside down in a matter of days. She was accused of killing her employer’s 4 month old baby, a charge that she vehemently denies. After a flawed and unfair trial, she was sentenced to death by the Abu Dhabi court. This is a travesty of justice and a clear violation of the basic principles of a fair trial. Abu Dhabi court sentenced her to death only on the pretext of a proof of a video where she in naked condition, is seen admitting of killing her employer’s baby. We ask authorities and judges of UAE, will a women go naked on video to admit her crime? Actually Shahzadi has openly announced while in jail that she was tortured and beaten by her employers without any clothes on her body in naked condition and was coerced to speak on video that she had killed her employer’s child. Secondly we also ask authorities in UAE that don’t they know that Shahzadi’s employers 4 month child that died after vaccination, was may be due to vaccination allergies?
Truth is that this merciless employers of Shahzadi were using her as their slave and when she demanded to get rid of them then they Illegally tortured and beaten her and coerced her to admit on video of killing their child who had died 5 months ago before making this video. Now We ask government in UAE and Abu Dhabi that do they Investigate any crime logically or they just kill and murder any human being on the pretext of any dumb coercive illegitimate proofs? International Human Rights and global society needs their answer!
It is no secret that the criminal justice system in the UAE is highly flawed. The rights of defendants are routinely disregarded and due process is often overlooked. In Sahazadi’s case, she was denied access to a fair trial, proper legal representation, and even basic human rights. She was subjected to physical and mental torture, and her confession was coerced under duress. This is not justice, but a blatant abuse of power.
Moreover, the death penalty is a barbaric and inhumane punishment that has no place in a civilized society. It is a violation of the right to life, which is a fundamental human right. The UAE’s use of the death penalty has been widely criticized by international human rights organizations. According to Amnesty International, the UAE was the sixth most prolific executioner in 2019, with an estimated 108 death sentences. This is a shocking statistic and a clear indication of the country’s flawed justice system.
Sahazadi’s case is not an isolated incident. It is just one of many examples of the UAE’s blatant disregard for human rights. The country’s legal system is deeply flawed, and it discriminates against foreign workers, especially those from South Asian countries. They are often mistreated, overworked, and underpaid, with little to no legal protection. This makes them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse by their employers, who often wield immense power and influence.
It is high time that the UAE government takes immediate action to address these issues and bring about much-needed reforms in its legal and justice system. The international community must also put pressure on the UAE to ensure that Sahazadi receives a fair and just trial. Her human rights must be respected, and she must be given the chance to defend herself properly.
Ultimately, justice for Sahazadi is not only about one woman’s life, but it is also about the larger issue of upholding basic human rights. It is a call to action for all of us to speak up against injustice and stand in solidarity with those who have been wronged. We must demand a fair and just trial for Sahazadi and put an end to the death penalty in the UAE. It is time to make our voices heard and fight for justice for Sahazadi and all others who have been victims of the UAE’s flawed justice system.
