[Reader-list] Resolution on Police repression on Anti-POSCO Protest

[Asit asitreds]

*Resolution*

* *

We the delegates of Koi Bhookha Na Soye Abhiyan (No body sleeps hungry
campaign) assembled at Gandhi Peace Foundation on 15.02.10, Condemn the
brutal repression on peacefully agitating Men, Women and Children of  POSCO
Pratirodh Sangram Samity at District Jagatsinghpur Orissa. The Villagers
were sitting in a dharana in Balitutha of Jagatsingh Pur district protesting
against forcible acquisition of their agricultural land by the Govt. of
Orissa for handing it over to Korean Company POSCO for Constructing a steel
factory. More than 1000 armed police severely lathi charged, and fired on
the people injuring  100 people and also burnt their tent and around 100
shops nearby.

This incident exposes pro-corporate and anti-people character of Naveen
Patnaik Govt. who wants to forcibly evict the farmers to handover fertile
agricultural lands to the Corporates.

We demand immediate withdrawal of the police force bom the area and
cancellation of the M.O.U. with POSCO.
