Dear friend,
As you are probably aware, Dr. Binayak Sen, one of India's best known human rights activists, was arrested on 14 May 2007 and has been behind bars since. The major parties, Congress and BJP, both have ganged up together to incarcerate this brilliant doctor and activist, who was in the forefront of the campaign to expose the gross human rights violations and killings of adivasis taking place in the state of Chattisgarh in the name of development. It is well known that the case against him is patently false, and in the trial going on, all the evidence marshalled by the state to prove Dr. Sen's guilt has been proved false, yet the courts, which should have actually dismissed the case against him, have even refused him bail.
It is a sad comment on the state of human rights in the country that criminals-murderers-smugglers dominate the Parliament and make black laws to put behind bars ordinary citizens. The state and the criminal parties have actually launched a war on the people of the country. In the name of development, corporations are displacing people by the lakhs, their livelihoods are being destroyed. To silence all protest, browbeat and terrorise people so that they take all humiliations lying down, draconian laws like the CFPSA under which Dr. Sen and a 1000 others have been arrested, and now a new anti-terror law at the Centre, are being passed.
Various activist groups all over the country have come together to launch a Satyagrah demanding the release of Dr. Binayak Sen. Activists all over the country are assembling at Raipur every Monday for a Satyagraha and courting arrest. On April 6, activists from various cities of Maharashtra, including three activists from Pune, will be participating in this Satyagraha.
A rally is being organised in Pune on Friday, April 3, in the evening by all progressive groups of Pune who have got together to form a BINAYAK SEN MUKTATA SAMITI to extend support to this Satyagraha and demand the release of Dr. Binayak Sen, and also demand the repeal of all such black laws under which the state is seeking to terrorise the people of the country. We call upon you to join us in this rally and also participate in the public meeting that will take place at the end of the rally.
