We would like to point out to the people’s representatives in India, the Indian and international civil societies, and the national and international media that the authorities in Tirunelveli district (in Tamil Nadu, India) are treating our nonviolent Gandhian satyagraha with contempt and are harassing us with false cases and threats. Some thirty innocent and law-abiding men and women from Koodankulam and Idinthakarai villages are being harassed with CrPC 107 case for “disturbing the peace†(copies of summons enclosed). Similar cases have already been slapped on a few more of our friends also. It is a shame that authorities are being so intolerant about nonviolent and democratic protests but giving so much attention and importance to terrorist attacks and wanton killings. We demand that all of these cases be withdrawn immediately and that our Constitutional right to protest (against the dangerous nuclear power plants in this case) be honored and respected.
