*Five Women activists arrested in Calcutta at the behest of CPI(M) men for postering in support Nandigram and Singur peasant movements and charged for Conspiracy against state !!* While pasting posters of Nari Mukti Sangha in the vicinity of Bagha Jatin Station in South Calcutta at about 6 PM on Sunday 23 March, five women activists of the Sangha including a minor girl Bishnupriya were accosted by CPI(M) men. They were forcibly taken into the local office of the Democratic Women's Association, a frontal organisation of the CPI(M). The activists were assaulted there and handed over to the police. They were kept in the police lock up for the whole night. The police did not inform the families of those arrested and the matter came to light, when the police raided the house of the Secretary of the Nari Mukti Sangha this morning where the police found nothing incriminating. When the news spread, a large number of people demonstrated against this attack on freedom of expression in front of Jadavpur Police station. When the arrested women were produced in the court today almost the whole bar present in the court room stood up demanding their immediate release. But in line with the policy taken by the state government in dealing with every dissent, the police had framed a false case with charges of conspiracy against the state and waging war against the state and slapped various sections of chapter VI of the IPC, their bail applications were rejected. Two of them were sent to police custody as prayed by the police and the rest to judicial remand. Interestingly, according to papers submitted before the court, the police 'received' the 'information' at 10.30 PM and 'arrested' them at 7-45 PM !!. The police further lied on paper by saying that they were arrested in presence of the Secretary of the Nari Mukti Sangha, who was not present at the place and lives about 30 Km away from the place. A protest demonstration have been planned which will start from in front of the Jadavpur University (8B Bus stand) at 4 PM on Tuesday 25 March. -- SUNDARA BABU NAGAPPAN Mob: +91-9811744919 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
