INDIA: HIGH COURT STAYS EXECUTION OF RAJIV GANDHI'S KILLERS

The death convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case

30 August 2011 :

The Madras High Court in southern India has stayed the executions of three men convicted of plotting the 1991 assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
The men - Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan - were to have been hanged at a jail in Tamil Nadu on 9 September but that has now been put back eight weeks.
India's president rejected a plea for mercy this month. Lawyers for the men say the time taken to decide the plea - 11 years - was unconstitutional.
