4. All processes of decision-making on development, environment and livelihoods must be deeply democratized, ensuring involvement of vulnerable communities, affected and interested citizens, especially women and youth.

In light of the above, we demand that :
1.Disha Ravi must be immediately released withdrawing all charges made against her. Warrants against Shantanu Muluk and Nikita Jacob must also be dropped.

3. A national level, transparent review of legal provisions like sedition, and laws like UAPA, must be initiated with the intent of replacing them with provisions that help establish security without threatening democratic rights of citizens.
