The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the decks for the execution of Nithari serial killer Surinder Koli after it dismissed his plea seeking review of the judgment upholding death penalty.

A Bench of Chief Justice H.L. Dattu and Justices Madan B. Lokur and A.K. Sikri dismissed the review petition after hearing Ram Jethmalani, who argued that there was gross miscarriage of justice as Koli had been falsely implicated in the case.

Mr. Jethmalani argued that Koli was convicted only on the basis of his own confession, which could not be relied upon.

One innocent life is more important than anything else. I am shocked that such a thing can happen in the judiciary as the prosecution had completely suppressed a vital document, viz. the autopsy report of a surgeon, which is a piece of evidence to prove Kolis innocence, he said.

Counsel pointed out that the surgeon, who performed the autopsy, was not examined during the trial.

He said it could be a case of organ trade and handiwork of a doctor, but an innocent person was being sent to the gallows.

The Chief Justice made it clear to counsel, You are introducing new facts for the first time which is not permissible under the rules. We cant entertain this review petition and we dismiss it.

On September 8, the apex court stayed Kolis execution pending disposal of the review petition in an open court. On September 12, the stay was extended till Tuesday. With the dismissal of the petition, it is now open to the jail authorities to execute the death sentence.

For the first time in 55 years, a new Catholic Church will be erected in Cuba -- a sign that the countrys communist government is improving relations with the Vatican. The church which will be built in Santiago de Cuba, where many churches were damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Sandy.

I think its not only about improving attitudes to the Catholic Church, but to churches in general, Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba, Dionisio Garca Ibez, told the BBC. I think theres a better understanding of religious affairs, so we hope it wont only be this church that we build. We hope therell be more.

Soon after Fidel Castro became president, many church properties were confiscated. The communist country was officially atheist between 1962 and 1992. Since then, a network of home churches was established. Tensions began to ease in 1998 after Pope John Paul II visited. The countrys permission for the new Catholic church may be a sign the tide is changing.

"The construction of a church is a clear demonstration of a new phase, of an improvement, in relations between the church and the state," Enrique Lopez Oliva, a professor of the history of religions at the University of Havana, told the Associated Press.

The church is funded in part by parishioners from Tampa, Florida, most of whose members are Cuban exiles or descendants of exiles. The church will be able to house 200 people. Part of it will be built from steel beams from the stage Pope Benedict XVI stood on when he performed Mass in Havana in 2012.

"Reusing the metal means keeping alive the memory of something good for us Catholics. It gives it new life, so it can serve future generations," Fausto Veloz, an engineer on the project, told the BBC. According to the Catholic Church around 60 percent of the Cuban population has been baptized. Only a small fraction are regular churchgoers.

Most religious groups have reported reduced government interference in religious organizations, which includes attracting new members, conducting services, importing religious materials and receiving foreign donations. Official observance of Christmas has been returned. Homilies and mass are allowed to be broadcast on official media. Still, a recent U.S. State Department report on religious freedom in Cuba shows theres more progress to be made.

The Cuban Communist Party, through its Office of Religious Affairs (ORA), has harassed outspoken religious leaders, prevented human rights activists from attending religious services, and in some cases employed violence to prevent activists from engaging in public political protests after services, the report said.

Indeed, thousands of dissidents have been arrested in Cuba over the past couple years -- mostly due to the rising number of citizens who are publicly opposing the government. According to the report, many were arrested during or after organizing meetings or public protests and on their way to or from church.

"There are more demonstrations of the people's discontent," Elizardo Sanchez, president of the The Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation, told Reuters.

First Catholic Church To Be Built In Cuba In 55 Years

TAMPA For the first time since Cuba embraced Communism in 1959, a Catholic Church will be built on the island and a Tampa parish is responsible for the fundraising.

St. Lawrence Catholic Church of Tampa, through parishioner donations, has raised $45,000 half of the $90,000 needed to complete the church but enough for Cuba to approve the start of construction.

The church will be located in Sandino, a municipality in the Pinar del Ro province of Cuba that has never had a church. Catholics there have long been congregating in homes.

They already started holding Mass on the property, said Luisa Long, coordinator of Hispanic ministries for St. Lawrence church, 5225 N. Himes Ave. The first rock was put on the property location just this past September and blessed.

Fidel Castros revolution brought an end to the open practice of religion as the government officially declared Cuba an atheist nation, in line with Marxist teachings. Church properties were nationalized, forcing Catholics to congregate in homes.

More than four decades later, relations between the Cuban government and the Catholic Church began to improve in advance of a 1998 visit by Pope John Paul II. Fidel Castro declared Christmas a national holiday for the first time since 1959.

In March 2012, Pope Benedict XVI took a three-day tour of the island, further thawing the divide.

The new church construction project is a major next step, said the Rev. Ramon Hernandez of St. Lawrence, who helped bring the partners together.

And Tampa is the right city for this work, Hernandez said. We have a deep history with Cuba.

Tampas Ybor City was founded, in part, by immigrants from Cuba, and in the late 1800s emerging as the cigar capital of the world using tobacco from Cuba Tampa helped fund Cubas War of Independence against Spain.

Cuba has allowed construction of country's first Catholic church in 55 years Experts believe it is a sign of improving relations between church and state The new church will be funded by FloridaCatholicsand will fit 200 people

Cuba has allowed construction of the country's first new Catholic church in 55 years, in a sign of improving relations between the Vatican and Cuba's communist government.

The new church, funded by donations from Catholics in Tampa, Florida, will be built in Sandino, a citrus and coffee-growing town in the far-western province of Pinar del Rio.

The Catholic Church publication 'Christian Life' said it will have space for 200 people.

'The construction of a church is a clear demonstration of a new phase, of an improvement, in relations between the church and the state,' said Enrique Lopez Oliva, a professor of the history of religions at the University of Havana.

The Catholic Church had tense relations with what was long an officially atheist government for many years after the 1959 revolution, but they began to improve ahead of Pope John Paul II's visit in 1998.

The government revived observance of a Christmas holiday and began allowing masses or homilies to be broadcast on official media.

Cuba builds its first new Catholic church in 55 years in sign of thawing relations with Vatican

The Braselton Planning Commission in a 4-0 vote on Monday has recommended the conditional use permitting of a new church in a Barrow County office park on Hwy. 124.

Norwood Davis, chief financial officer for 12Stone Church, headquartered out of Lawrenceville, spoke on behalf of the applicant.

Church leaders intend to renovate approximately 11,230 square feet of office space in the Madden Building at 935 Hwy. 124, Braselton, to include an auditorium and a space for childrens ministries. The zoning classification on the property is M-D (Manufacturing-Distribution).

The church has also entered into a letter of intent agreement to lease an additional 1800 square foot space in the Mayhew building for church offices. That space shares a parking lot with the Madden Building.

The Braselton campus, which will take approximately 4-6 months to build, is one of five new campuses 12Stone is planning to launch in 2015. Services will temporarily be held at Duncan Creek Elementary School during the construction period.

Davis explained that 12Stone Church has been operating in Gwinnett County for 26 years with four campuses. In 2009, a Hall County church was launched in Flowery Branch. Were excited about this opportunity, said Davis. We have a long record of working with the communities at which we have church campuses and we look forward to working with the city of Braselton as we open this campus.

Planning commission member Chris Meadows said the residents he has spoken with are really excited. He asked if the church had any plans for accommodating the traffic.

Davis said he anticipated that there would be about 300 seats in the auditorium for adults for one service and the church plans to accommodate its members with two Sunday services, at 9 a.m. and at 11 a.m. He said the church employs off-duty police officers and plans to work with the City and the Braselton Police Department to ensure that traffic is not impeded on Hwy. 124.

There will be parking to the front and at the back of the Madden Building and an agreement has been entered with the Mayhew building, said Davis, in order to accommodate overflow parking. I think its pretty incredible that you already have 240 families involved, said planning commission member Edd Price.

Davis said the Hamilton Mill branch, opened in 2007, is the most active campus, which hosts five services, and it is in the process of moving to a larger campus that was opened in April of this year. The church still owns the other building and it is used as offices and youth ministry space.
