[governance] Freedom of speech issue FB and Shaheen Dadha

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Not particularly new and mostly driven by political parties trawling through fb for criticism of their leaders and randomly lodging police complaints... This is across the board and not particular to any one Indian political party

India is progressing, a bit at a time. Freedom of speech is being
recognized on web media as a positive and appreciated by the community at
large.

If this of interest do feel free to sign the petition on change.org (link
below).

Best regards,
Chaitanya

 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>
