Press Conference

STOP STIFLING DEMOCRACY! ENTER INTO DIALOGUE WITH YOUTH TO SECURE 
INDIA’S FUTURE!

Organised by

National Alliance of People's Movements, Coalition for Environmental 
Justice in India, and People's Union for Civil Liberties

Time: Friday, Feb 19, 2021 03:30 PM IST

The shocking manner in which Disha Ravi has been arrested has raised 
innumerable questions about the security of youth activists in 
particular and just about anyone who exercises their democratic Right to 
Express, which includes the Right to Dissent.

In a landscape where dissent with the State is disturbingly frequently 
considered as seditious, we invite you to join us in this Press 
Conference where we will address our issues and concerns.

The press conference will be addressed by Kavita Srivastava, Nagraj 
Adve, Ram Wangkheirakpam, Medha Patkar, Sandeep Pandey, TM Krishna, 
Meera Sanghamitra, Abhilasha Singh, Ashish Kothari, Nityanand Jayaraman, 
Leo Saldanha, V. Suresh, Vinay Sreenivasa, Ulka Mahajan, representing a 
wide cross-section of society and from across India.

The Press Conference will be streamed live on:
