No it is actually simpler. They were in jail awaiting trial and Indian judiciary has huge backlog [scroll.in]. India does have capital punishment, but the Sri Lankan terrorists who killed them got 11 years to live in jail before final judgement was passed.
Yes, my bad. I forgot all about the crazy backlog that India's justice system has. In this case, the police never should have taken them prisoner. They should have been shot to death while resisting arrest.
Hey, if US cops can get away with shooting unarmed people in the back, then claim that they felt threatened, I'm sure the Indian cops could have staged a convincing scenario for shooting these swine down.
On the plus side, in recent years, their legal system has made some serious strides in the direction of timely justice.
Yes, that is true. Cops do that all the time anyway, but high profile targets get high profile attention. It is ultimately the poor and powerless who suffer. If you are powerful then you can even be a terrorist.
