[WSMDiscuss] Supreme Court Grants One Week's Time to Surrender

[Umakant]

Dear Friends 

Greetings! This is tobring to your kind attention that despite a global petition of solidarity inwhich more than five thousand academicians, activists and others made an appealto quash the impending arrest order of Dr. Anand Teltumbde and Mr. GautamNavlakha, and also several other appeals, the Supreme Court yesterday (April08, 2020) on a fresh petition filed by Dr. Teltumbde and Mr. Navlakha, granteda week’s time to surrender. That means both of them will have to surrender byApril 14, 2020 now. As per the earlier rejection of the pre-arrest petitionthey were told to surrender by April 06, 2020. 

 

It is a matter ofregret and great concern that their plea of age, poor health and turbulent timedue to coronavirus pandemic was not considered at all. 

 

Do pass it on toothers in your circle/network.

My final words of advice to you are educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With justice on our side I do not see how we can lose our battle. The battle to me is a matter of joy. The battle is in the fullest sense spiritual. There is nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle not for wealth or for power. It is battle for freedom. It is the battle of reclamation of human personality.
