PUCL Bulletin, June 2002 Crackdown on the Students, Youths and Cultural Activists at Faizabad, UP The PUCL strongly
condemns the crack down on cultural activists who had assembled to observe
the day of 1857 revolt from all over the country. If a Shaheed Mela and
a sadbhawanaa march is suppressed, what is permitted? It is a suppression
of peaceful assembly. Human rights and civil liberties are coming more
and more under attack in the country today. All of have to protect the
rights granted under the constitution, otherwise it will be too late and
democracy will become hollow.
