12h June 2013
We the undersigned strongly condemn the blatant attempt by the
Kerala<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=8.5074,76.972&spn=1.0,1.0&q=8.5074,76.972%20(Kerala)&t=h>police
to intimidate five colleagues from the field of film and media by
filing fabricated cases against them for 'rioting', 'unlawful assembly' and
'public obstruction' (IPC Sections 143, 147, 149 and 283 ).
These five individuals- K.P.Sasi, noted filmmaker and activist, I.
Shanmukhadas, film critic, Prasannakumar T.N., film activist, Shafeek,
journalist and Deepak, filmmaker and film society activist- were
participating in a peaceful protest on February 11 at
Thrissur<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=10.52,76.21&spn=0.1,0.1&q=10.52,76.21%20(Thrissur)&t=h>,
Kerala, along with many others, outside the venue of the Vibgyor Film
Festival 2013 against the concept of capital punishment and the summary
execution of Afzal Guru <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afzal_Guru>.
The peaceful protest which lasted for an hour, in no way disturbed public
order or caused communal unrest. For this act of democratic expression,
these fraudulent and trumped charges have been filed against them.
It is indeed shocking that the Kerala police should deny citizens their
basic right to peacefully protest against the death penalty, which 97
nations across the world have abolished. As per Amnesty International data,
over 2/3 of the countries of the world (140) are now “abolitionist in law
or practice”. In India, there has been an alarming resurgence of the death
penalty, which needs to be questioned and protested against by all those
who stand for social justice and human rights. This crude act of
intimidation by the state needs to be condemned by all and we appeal to the
Chief Minister of Kerala ensure that the Kerala police to withdraw these
false and malicious charges immediately.
