Campaign for the Right to Protest

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

Any person who has protested to defend the Constitution & human rights since 2022 has faced detention, police harassment & FIRs.

For this city wide march by a group that has openly called for violence, @CPBlr must show us the application and letter granting the RSS permission!

[Clifton D' Rozario @clifroz]

Where are the "only freedom park", "traffic jam", "public inconvenience" warriors now? The @PoliceBangalore and @CPBlr must make public the application for permissions and the permission letters.

We have sent you a letter today continuing to assert that our demand is that the restriction of protests to Freedom Park must end now! The right to protest peacefully means you cannot confine, hide or invisibilise us!

[DK Shivakumar @DKShivakumar]

The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy. We cannot demand that right for ourselves in Delhi and deny it to others in Bengaluru.

I have taken note of yesterday’s incident involving protesters and members of the media. I have sought a full report on the circumstances that led to the police action. If there has been any unnecessary use of force or excess, accountability will follow.

Let me be clear: disagreement with the Election Commission, disagreement with my government, or disagreement with me personally does not diminish anyone’s right to peacefully express it.

Karnataka must hold itself to the democratic standards that we expect from the rest of the country. There will be no double standards.

We cannot demand the right to protest in Delhi and deny it in Bengaluru. There will be no double standards.

CM avare, @DKShivakumar

We are once again demanding — the right to protest cannot be confined to Freedom Park! Peaceful protests cannot be criminalised! Revoke the 2021 order! @PriyankKharge

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

It is high time that the restriction of protests to Freedom Park is withdrawn! Let us imagine together how we can resolve to protect democracy in Bangalore!

[ShivasundarShivasundar @ShivasundarShi1]

*Attention Please*
Due to the harassment by the Bangalore Police under the Congress govt, The venue of todays program 'Solidarity with Palestine" has been *shifted to*

*AITUC bhavan, near by sirur park, in front of Sampige Theatre, Malleswaram, Bangalore...*

Please do come...

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

@BlrCityPolice tried to get in the way again. So @BLRforPalestine (Bengaluru for Justice and Peace) had to change the venue!

Join in this exercise of our fundamental rights to freedom of association and freedom of assembly!

[Bengaluru Palestine Solidarity @BLRforPalestine]

📢📢📢 Please note that there has been a change in VENUE for today's event at 6:30PM on Palestine in Bangalore.

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

Bangalore’s restrictions are a part of a nation-wide crackdown on dissent! Indian democracy is being attacked everywhere, because the right to protest is being stifled!

[Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66]

ANOTHER REJECTION ANOTHER FRUSTRATION
Finally this morning we got this rejection letter for the officially designated place for protests.
If Jantar Mantar is not allowed then please tell us which place is allowed. We want to abide by all laws and still express our grievance in a peaceful way. Why is it so difficult to follow the path of Gandhi in his own country. There must be a way...

JOIN US FOR THE PROTEST TOMORROW!
3 PM at Freedom Park!

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

The Government of Karnataka must be reminded that such a restriction of our right to protest stands in the way of making a democracy alive! Gandhi would have thought so too!

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

Bangalore Police, are you listening? Gandhi Jayanti is a good day for you to remember that you cannot restrict the fundamental right to freedom of assembly!

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

We celebrated Gandhi Jayanti today by wondering how Gandhi would have been restricted by the Bangalore Police today!

[Shivani Kava/ಶಿವಾನಿ @kavashivani]

Why can the CM and ministers protest in front of Vidhana Soudha, while everyone else faces detention or FIRs for protesting anywhere other than Freedom Park?

The HC order that @BlrCityPolice cite, what about it now?

[ವಿನಯ್ ಕೂರಗಾಯಲ ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸ Vinay K S @vinaysreeni]

Thank you @DeccanHerald for asking the right question to the GoK

[Madhu Bhushan @MadhuBhushan1]

@CMofKarnataka "The right to protest is a fundamental human right that allows people to peacefully assemble and express their ideas. It's a vital part of democracy, and states have a duty to protect and respect it."
We dont want to park our freedom in freedom park!

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

“Does the @siddaramaiah government hold the same view of the right to protest as the Bommai government?”

Free us from this Un-Freedom Park! As Ramachandra Guha (Ram_Guha) rightly said, it should be renamed as Freedom-Hidden-Away Park!

[Campaign for the Right to Protest @horaata_protest]

Withdraw the order restricting protests only to Freedom Park: letter signed by @Ram_Guha
