PLWHA detention: Thanks for your support.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

We are out from the night mares and the credit goes to all of you.

We take this opportunity to thank each and every individual, NGOs, CBOs and

government officials who showed their solidarity towards us.

Our special thanks to 1) MANOHAR from Sangama and RAJIV DUA who acted

immediately upon our first call early morning of November 1st and intimated

about us to all of you 2) Global Network for Positive People, ICW, Naz

Foundation International, International Human Rights Commission (Ms. )

for their actions. 3) JASMIR THAKUR for continued support.

We also thank NACO for enquiring about our status, UNAIDS for sending their

representative to meet us in Mumbai, and MDACS (Dr. Shanta, Dr. Alka Gogate,

Pramod Nigudkar) for their visit and INP+ for their action. Our special thanks

to Dr. V.L. Kulkarni and MSACS for their medical and food help while we were in

and all others who visited us.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Project Director Dr. Sanjay Sawant for his immediate

intervention and making us feel like one family.

Friends, I cannot narrate the pain and depression each one of us went through

for the first two days in the quarantine and pray to God that no PLHA be sent to

this quarantine ever.

I request all of you to be with us and fight against this till the centre comes

out with a clearcut guidlines for PLHAs soon.

December Senegal conference is taking place and imaging the scene then

again........

Let us come together and fight against the evil and do whatever the best we can

for our fellow brothers and sisters to give a better, long and a wonderful life.

With lots of love to all of you,

Vijay Nair & others.
