Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 23:31:38 -0800 Dear Dr. Manoj Kumar, Greetings! We 60 million disabled people of this country would like to draw your attention towards the inhuman action and merciless violence of Maharashtra/Mumbai police on persons with visual impairment, who were protesting against the blatant discrimination and sheer exclusion by the State of Maharashtra, on 13th of November 2006 in Mumbai. We the disabled people of this country condemn this inhuman and merciless action with single loud voice and urge you to consider this a petition against the Chief Minister, Home Minister, Director General of Police and the police, Govt. of Maharashtra, who have acted in a beastly manner. This is a clear case of violation of human rights particularly right to express, protest peacefully and other civil and human rights. This is a clear case of violation of spirit and provisions of "UN Convention against punishment, in human and degrading treatment". We hope you have already taken suo moto action after reading news paper and watching TV news. We strongly urge you for timely, immediate and appropriate action. Thanks Look forward for your immediate action. With regards, Karnataka, Jharkand and MP Viklang Manch. 139 Richmond Road, Bangalore 560025. ````` Block quote end To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
