A 14-year-old student goes to school with long hair and faces an archaic form of punishment by the school principal in Kashmir Budgam’s Delhi Public school. A story has come to light on the internet where a student was subjected to an orthodox way of punishment after his unkempt hairstyle bothered the school principal.

The sister of the victim, Sehar Mukhtar, uploaded a Twitter thread about her account of what the principal did to her brother. The sister alleged that the principal grabbed her brother by the neck and hair and also snipped the front part of his hair as the principal was bothered by the length of the haircut.

The sister added that her brother was priorly asked to cut his hair on the 11th but as there was a wedding that was coming up in the family, her brother had asked permission from his teacher, to which she agreed. However, even after getting the approval of the teacher, her brother was subjected to an archaic form of punishment as the school principal, V Muralidharan allegedly grabbed the 14-year-old student by his neck and chopped off his hair without any consent from the parents or guardians.

However, the actions taken by the principal go against the policy of the school as the policy suggests that if a student has a haircut that is not suitable for the school, the school authorities will first give a verbal warning and if the student continued to ignore the warning, the student will be sent home with a note.

The sister got to know about the information after her brother came home weeping and told her about what transpired at his school. The sister alleges that her brother was traumatized and felt helpless as well as humiliated by the principal as the principal stated that bald children can attend weddings.

The family also alleges when they confronted the principal of DPS Budgam, the principal showed no remorse for his actions and even defended their actions on carrying out such actions. The sister also added that 7 other students accompanied by a teacher were sent outside the school premises to a local barber who gave them a haircut without the consent of the family or parents.

The sister also alleges that one of the 7 students was also subjected to physical violence by the school officials as slapped them. The sister and the family are seeking actions against the school authorities for mentally and physically abusing the child as well.

Sehar Mukhtar also added that this trend of disciplining the student was once considered normal, however, it shouldn’t be considered a norm now in 2022. Following the social media post by the sister of the student, many users condemned the actions of the school authorities and sought actions.

International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant against Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu over war crimes

The International Criminal Court (ICC) today issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The court accused Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant of crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution, inhumane acts, and the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare. The leaders allegedly restricted essential supplies such as food, water, and medical aid to civilians in Gaza, resulting in severe humanitarian crises and deaths, including among children.

Last year in October, Israel had launched attacks on Gaza in retaliation for the surprise attack by Hamas. The Israel-Hamas war has led to the death of thousands of civilians, while lakhs have been displaced. The major infrastructures in Gaza, including hospitals and schools, were also destroyed as Israel vowed to wipe out Hamas.

The International Criminal Court stated that it found reasonable grounds to believe the accused intentionally targeted civilians and limited medical supplies, forcing unsafe medical procedures, which caused immense suffering. This ruling was based on the findings from at least October 8, 2023 until at least May 20, 2024.

The court remarked that it has assessed that there are reasonable grounds to believe that PM Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant bear criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population of Gaza.

Furthermore, it also noted that the lack of food, water, electricity and fuel, and medical supplies created conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza, leading to death of civilians, including children due to malnutrition and dehydration.

Additionally, the International Criminal Court dismissed two challenges by Israel against its jurisdiction in the situation in the State of Palestine.

Notably, Israel had contested the ICC’s jurisdiction, claiming it could not be exercised without Israel’s consent. Nonetheless, the Chamber ruled that the Court has jurisdiction based on Palestine’s territorial scope, including Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. It further noted that Israel’s objections were premature, as jurisdictional challenges under the Rome Statute can only be made after an arrest warrant is issued.

Reportedly, Israel had also requested a fresh notification regarding the investigation, started in 2021. Denying the request, the court stated that Israel had earlier declined to request a deferral, making additional notifications unnecessary.

The film team has discharged its responsibilities to expose the truth, he said, adding an attempt has been made to bring the real truth in front of the country in a big way through the film.
