It’s outrageous! Anna
Hazare has been arrested and is being held in an undisclosed location. But
as he was taken away he said:
"Don't let my arrest stop this
movement. This is the nation's second struggle for freedom."
Let’s heed his call to action -- if we all now stand with Anna
and show that we will not be silenced, we will force the government to free him
and listen to the demands of the people.
Sign the urgent petition to
PM Manmohan Singh and Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi to Free Anna, then send this
to everyone -- it will be delivered directly to them:

government is trying to repress our nation-wide clamour to end corruption.
This morning Anna Hazare was arrested by plain clothes policemen as he set out
to begin his fast in support of the Jan Lokpal Bill. His top aides were also
arrested and reports say over 3,000 people are being held in Chhatrasal stadium.
Now protests are exploding across the country.
This is a shocking
response from the government -- instead of upholding our legal right to fast and
protest, and supporting our demands to end corruption, it is clamping down on
our democratic rights and illegally arresting our brave non violent leaders.
But we are millions and we are determined to rid this country of
repression and corruption. Let’s show the government the power of people
power.
Sign the urgent petition to Free Anna and Free India of Corruption now
and send this to everyone:http://www.avaaz.org/en/free_anna/?vlToday
we all have a choice -- stand by and watch the government stifle our democracy,
or join this national movement to free India from the poison of corruption.
Let’s make sure we all stand on the right side of history -- join the urgent
call to Free Anna and Free India of Corruption now.
With hope and
determination,
Ricken, Shibayan, Alice, Pascal and the entire Avaaz
team
