Freedom of Expression and Speech are under threat. Two recent incidences of attack on Kumar Ketkar's house at Thane and clamping of Sedition charges on Times of India Ahmedabad's Journalists are classic instances.
In Ahmedabad, Times of India's Resident Editor Bharat Desai, Correspondent Prashant Dayal and photographer are charged with Sedition for questioning the alleged links of new Ahmedabad police chief O P Mathur with a mafia don and his ability to guarantee security in the city.
we thought it is necessary to organize a silent demonstration on Tuesday June 10, 2008 outside Churchgate (E) station at 5.30 pm.We appeal to journalists, human rights activists and peace loving people of Mumbai to join the demonstration and work for Freedom of Expression and Speech.
