KOCHI: The Kerala high court has temporarily stayed the execution of sentence awarded to Lambu Pradeep, the 31st convict in T P murder case. He has also been granted a conditional bail. The court’s order comes in the wake of the petition moved by Lambu, questioning his sentence.
Erimjapalam special court had awarded 3-yr jail term and a fine of Rs 20,000.
The court also rejected the public prosecutor’s plea to give special consideration to TP case.
The court maintained that it was not interested in adding politics to the case. The court also put aside the request of Director General of prosecution to speed up the arguments on appeal filed by the convict against his sentence.

WikiLeaks shuts down operations, for now
Announcing this here, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that an "arbitrary and unlawful financial blockade" since last December has "destroyed 95% of our revenue".
WikiLeaks would need $3.5 million over the next year to continue operating, Assange said, adding that financial problems may lead to the closure of the site at the end of this year.
Apparently under US pressure, American financial firms like Visa, MasterCard, Western Union and PayPal had started pulling the plug on WikiLeaks. The immediate reason was the publishing of some 250,000 US state department cables last year.
