Demand Immediate and Unconditional Release of People's March Editor, Com. Govindan Kutty*
Save Live of Govindan Kutty who is on the 8th Day of a Hunger Fast On December 19th the Kerala Police, under the orders of Ernakulum Police Commissioner, raided the room of Com. Govindan Kutty; confiscated all his literature and Hard disk and arrested him under a number of fake cases. He was harassed and interrogated for a day and and then sent to judicial custody. Since then he has been on a hunger strike which has entered the 8th day demanding his unconditional release. Given his age his life is in serious threat. People's March is an independent revolutionary paper. It supports all revolutionary movements including the Maoist movements in India, Nepal and elsewhere. It is a fully legal publication registered by the Government of India with the RNI number KER ENG/2000/2051 and the postal registration number: KL/EKM/614/2007-09. The magazine has been coming out for over 7 years meeting all the requirements of the government. The arrest of the editor and the foisting of fake charges against him are nothing but an attempt of the GOI of India to further stifle freedom of speech in the country. The so-called largest democracy in the world with a gigantic army, para-military and police force feels threatened by a mere monthly mgazine with a limited circulation of a few thousands. It displays the fascist character of the governemnet and the cowardly action of the Keralam police. We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Com Govindan Kutty and allow the continued publication of People's March. We hold the government entirely responsible in the face of any damage to his health or threat to his life due to huger strike within jail. Dec.26th 2007 janakeeya patha -- "There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than ''politicians'' think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think" - Foucault ANIL Anil Tharayath Varghese National Centre for Advocacy Studies Serenity Complex, Ramnagar Colony Pashan, Pune 21 Phone - 02022952003/4 Mobile - 09890387877 email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
