Dear friends , Please sign this petition
My friend Piyush Manush has been arrested for obviously no legal reasons. He fought for the voiceless people in our so called democratic country. Please read this post and support him online with the hashtag #StandWithPiyush . This is the same man who won an award for his selfless service to humanity during Chennai floods. A man who has always stood against injustice whether its against humans or animals or environment.
Most of us would not have even a small percent of courage n strength he has, the least we can do is to support the release of Piyush n other Scf members.
BACKGROUND
Three members of the Salem Citizens Forum, including Piyush Manush Esan Karthik and Siva were arrested yesterday and remanded to judicial custody for raising perfectly legitimate questions regarding the hurried, illegal and unthought-out project of undertaking the construction of a railway overbridge in Salem’s busy Mulvadi Gate area. The Forum has been demanding for nearly four years now that the city should take the citizens in confidence, and commence the project only after the necessary lands for the project had been acquired. It is unfortunate that even peaceful articulations of people’s aspirations are dealt with by jailing citizen activist.
