Repeal the sedition law:

Planning strategies to intensify the nationwide campaign

11^th November, 2011 from 11 am to 4 pm

Venue: Gandhi Peace Foundation, Deen Dayal Upadhayay Marg, N Delhi

Dear Colleague,

A Convention organized by People's Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL) with participation from Human Rights activists and organizations across the country heard accounts of widespread and systematic misuse of the sedition law across India. The Convention resolved to launch a nation-wide signature campaign to collect at least a million signatures to present it to Parliament demanding the immediate repeal of Sedition Law, i.e., Sec. 124 (A) IPC.

It is imperative that we review the progress made so for and formulate future strategies in order to intensify the campaign and build pressure on the Government to repeal the law. For this purpose we would like to invite all of you on 11 November at Gandhi Peace Foundation from 11 AM to 4 PM. We may consider forming a coordination committee in the meeting with representatives of different organizations so that we can reach a cross section of society and also show our collective strength on this issue.

We hope you will urgently send us a line in acknowledgement so that we can plan the meeting accordingly. Kindly find attached with this letter "An appeal to the Parliament to repeal the Sedition Law", for signature campaign.

Thanking you,

Sincerely yours,

Sd./-

(Pushkar Raj)
