Petition to Allow a Peaceful Padyatra in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh 

Dear Friends,

As you know Himanshu Kumar and many other social
activists from all over India are planning a padyatra (march on foot)
through the conflict zone of Southern Chhattisgarh, in an effort to
bring peace and normalcy to the Adivasis communities there. The
administration is trying everything in its power to stop the padyatra
from happening. Solidarity groups headed for Dantewada are being
stopped and harassed.

A few days ago, Kopa Kunjum an active volunteer of VCA along with his
lawyer Alvan Toppo were arrested on trumped up charges and beaten up in
custody.

Please read and sign the petition to the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh and send a free fax, if you agree with the contents.


Signing the petition will send a free fax...>>

Also, please call the administration and the police authorities asking
them to ensure the safety of the padyatris. Ask why people wanting to
join the Padyatra peacefully are being stopped and harassed?
Also ask why Kopa was arrested on trumped up charges and beaten while in custody?

Amresh Mishra (Superintendent of Police Dantewada) 09425285793  
Superintendent of Police Bijapur +91-9425285791  
Director General of Police, Chhattisgarh Vishvaranjan 09424207222
