Amit Arvind Katarnaware an employee of Central Railway
employee has filed a case against Aseem Trivedi for Cartoons like one where the
activist has altered the three-lion national emblem in a satirical depiction to
highlight corruption have attracted the sedition charge by the Maharashtra
Police. Mr Trivedi has been remanded in police custody till September 16. This
is direct assault on the Freedom of Expression. We urge the judiciary in India
to apply its mind and restore Aseem Trivedi’s freedom at the same time putting punitive
damages against Amit Arvind Katarnaware a resident of MS/RB II/08/02, Central
Railway Colony, Sector 2, Juinagar, Navi Mumbai 400 705<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

[email protected];[email protected];[email protected] these
are email address for Minster of Railway, General Manager of Central railway
and DGP of Maharashtra police protesting against the conduct of Amit Arvind
Katarnaware and the mumbai police who has taken away the freedom of expression guaranteed
by the Constitution of India. At the same time we urge The national Human
rights commission and supreme court of India to take cognize of this grave
injutice and ensure that freedom of Aseem Trivedi is returned to him as given
in the India constitution which give freedom of expression to everyone. The
website of Aseem Trivedi blocked by the Maharashtra government should be
unblocked and case register against police officer’s who have booked Aseem Trivedi under sedition charge so that an
example is made out of them and they never ever overlook the rights of Individual
given to all citizens of India. So often we overlook the acts of police saying
that they are following order how long must we overlook the fact they carry out
the orders of their master for illegal gratification and an example must be
made out of these people so that they never ever make false case or arrest. A
10 day police remand was it required for
Aseem Trivedi who has no previous criminal record and why did the judge grant
it? For making cartoon we have to protest against this gross violation of our
rights
FREE ASEEM! India is a democracy and we have the right to criticize corruption. Absolute madness what they are doing to him.
