Irom Sharmila
Dear friends,
Delhi Police denied the permission for our proposed program of “One day fast for Irom Sharmila”, which was scheduled on 10th December even after several follow ups with different levels of police office from local police station to commissioner of police. Government proved its hard and inhumane approach towards the rights activists and it sent a clear message that government is in fear from growing public support for Irom Sharmila. This fast was scheduled as a culminating program of Nationwide Signature Campaign which started from 02nd October in India and across globe.
We believe that the only thing they can do is denial of the permission for the place not the fast. Fast doesn’t need permission.
We appeal to all our friends to observe the one day fast wherever they are, they can observe it at their workplace, home, school everywhere. This one day fast will be observed by all supporters of this campaign in India and even across globe. We also appeal to all our friends and well wishers to organize press conferences at their places to oppose the government’s way to deal with issue.
We believe in non violence, peace and humanity and we are committed for all possible initiatives towards spreading the message of peace, love and non violence.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE 10 DEC 2011
We will move for Rajghat in morning at 10 AM for a peace prayer.
A press meet is organized at 02 PM at Delhi, where all activists associated with this campaign will be present and some prominent women activists will address the press conference.
