Re: EU-India FTA protester got arrested in Delhi

[Guest guest]

Dear Manoj,

Re: /message/11514

This is a serious issue and government by trying to scuttle voices on EU - India

FTA is seriously undermining the role of right to express dissent in a

democracy.

Law Minister must intervene to bail the arrested protesters.

The Health Ministry must intervene to get the cases squashed against the

protesters trying to express their concerns over EU India FTA.

Warm Regards,

Rajiv

Dear friends,

Re: /message/11514

This must be taken up as a human rights issue. I am sure Lawyer's Collective or

Human Rights Law Network can help.

We must petition against such actions and We must also join hands with others

who have raising their voice against these kind of so called free trade

agreements

" trade liberalisation is not inherently welfare producing; it can produce,

re-produce and even aggravate inequality and insecurity, social disparity at the

same time as it expands wealth. India with its high growth rates and huge inner

inequality and poverty is a good case in point. "

I am sure many of us are working with those working on issues of fair trade; but

we need to make the link (both ways) more explicit
