HI all

We have just arrived from a late night trip to the police station to check
on  Tsundue, Sethu and Kallianpur, who have been arrested, and this is a
quick update.


While Wen Jiaboa was in the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Tenzin
Tsundue, the general secretary of the Friends of Tibet, appeared on top of
the Indian Institute of Science building. He hoisted the Free Tibet banner
in full glare of the international media.

Tenzin has been arrested, along with two other members of Friend of Tiber.
Sethu das and C.A.Kallianpur, All three are currently being detained in the
Sadashiv Nagar police station, and will be produced before the magistrate
tomorrow. All three are fine at the moment, and there has not been any
problem with the police.

Tenzin has been charged with the following offences under the Indian Penal
Code.

Sec 290 – Public Nuisance
Sec. 309- Attempt to commit suicide
Sec. 426- Mischief
Sec. 448- House Trespass
Sec. 506- Criminal Intimidation

Sethu and Kallianpur have been chared under Sec. 120- Concealing design to
commit offence punishable with imprisonment. 

All the offences are bailable offences, so by tommorow all three should be
out on bail.
