Hi Naresh,
I am writing with some fantastic news! Today, the Delhi High Court rightfully ruled in the favour of PEOPLE by calling the government’s move to ban my travel as undemocratic![1]
On January 11, I was banned from leaving India with no explanation.[2] I was travelling to London to meet parliamentarians to talk about the destructive coal-mining plans that Essar Energy, a British-registered company, has for Mahan.
Championing an Indian woman’s right to free speech, the court ordered the government to quash the lookout circular in my name and remove the offload stamp from my passport.
This is a landmark judgment for all Indians and our constitutional rights!We need to ensure that these rights are not violated again. And only YOU can help! Will you tell the government to stop the harassment of Greenpeace India? |

My trip to the UK was to promote the rights of Indian people and did not violate any laws. Stating that "you cannot muzzle dissent in a democracy," the judge rejected the government’s claim that I was working against national interests.
Since June 2014, following the leaked Intelligence Bureau reports, there has been a systematic clampdown on Greenpeace.[3] 85 years ago today, Mahatma Gandhi led thousands of people to Dandi for people’s rights. It’s time to recreate that moment!
Greenpeace India will continue to work for Indian people and environment. For that, we need your support. |
