In Chhattisgarh, para military forces embark on a war against their own
citizens, backed by a Centre that is bent on driving the original
inhabitants of the mineral-rich forests out of their homes, to pave the way
for mining companies.
In Mumbai, a peaceful demonstration against the inequal distribution of
water leads to the death of one demonstrator in a police lathi-charge; petty
thieves are paraded on the street with placards round their necks.
On December 10, declared by the UN as International Human Rights Day, when
people across the world will commemorate every individual's right to life
and liberty, across India too, people will affirm their rights. Mumbai will
witness a grand Human rights Parade, a first of its kind, with song, dance
and floats across the streets of the city's original working class area,
Dadar. Participating in the parade will be intellectuals and workers,
students and artists, academics and executives.

The Parade  will begin from Dadar Station (E) at 5 PM, and end at the ground
near Bhoiwada Police Station at around 6PM.

Organised by the Committee for the Release of Binayak Sen along with a host
of other groups, the parade is a small endeavour to remind people that this
city belongs first to those who contribute the most to it but get the elast
out of its grand ``development'' schemes.
Please send your reporter and photographer to cover this unique parade.
