  • Concerns Over Harassment and Continued Detention of Protestors Against Dadri Displacement in Uttar Pradesh
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Public Statement India: Concerns over harassment and continued detention of protestors against Dadri displacement in Uttar Pradesh Amnesty International is concerned by reports of continued detention of eight activists of the Dadri Kisan Union (DKU) in Ghaziabad district jail in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) since 27 September 2006. They were detained by the UP state police for protesting against displacement of farmers in Dadri following the state government’s recent decision to acquire farmland, part of which would be sold to and part leased to the Reliance Energy Group’s (REG) proposed gas-based 3,740 MW power plant. Reports received by Amnesty International say that the eight persons, including the DKU leader Bhupendra Singh Rawat and two women, were travelling in a vehicle to New Delhi to attend a press conference to highlight the ongoing protests at Dadri when the state police detained them. The police allegedly threatened Mr. Rawat and other detained activists that they should drop their protest plans and accused them of several charges. These charges, including attempting to murder police personnel on duty and resorting to rioting and violence, were reportedly registered in such a manner to delay their release on bail. On 6 October, a team of activists from New Delhi was not allowed to meet Mr. Rawat and other detained activists at the Ghaziabad district jail. Amnesty International urges the UP government to release of Mr. Rawat and other DKU activists immediately and unconditionally. Amnesty International also urges the UP government to ensure that the right to peaceful protest is upheld in the state and that the police should not resort to harassment of activists involved in exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful protest.
