 Dear Chaitanya,

*Our pressure is working!*
Following the widespread outrage, *Chief Minister* Prithviraj Chavan *ordered
an enquiry* into the arrest of Shaheen & Renu for posting a comment on
Facebook. The inquiry report has now been submitted to the DGP of
Maharashtra, who has "forwarded it to the home department for necessary
actions."

*More than 19,000 people have signed the petition in just 4 days and this
has added to the pressure on the
authorities.*<http://www.change.org/petitions/drop-charges-against-shaheen-and-renu-for-comments-about-mumbai-shutdown-fbarrest?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=13920&alert_id=waWBhkkziA_gyfcmInHMp>

A group of concerned citizens are *trying to meet the Chief Minister before
Monday* to submit the petition with your
signatures<http://www.change.org/petitions/drop-charges-against-shaheen-and-renu-for-comments-about-mumbai-shutdown-fbarrest?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=13920&alert_id=waWBhkkziA_gyfcmInHMp>and
urge him to drop the charges filed against Shaheen and Renu.

*Can we get 50,000 signatures on the petition* to ensure the pressure is on
the Chief Minister to drop the charges?

*Forward this mail to your friends* and get more people to sign the
petition.<http://www.change.org/petitions/drop-charges-against-shaheen-and-renu-for-comments-about-mumbai-shutdown-fbarrest?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=13920&alert_id=waWBhkkziA_gyfcmInHMp>

Thanks for taking action,

Mukut Ray
