NAPM condemns murder of its Karnataka state convenor

    Day-long protest organised in front of Mahatma Gandhi Statue in
       Bangalore on Thursday (24th July) from 10.30 a.m. onwards

Dear Friends,  

The gruesome murder of senior activist and campaigner for prohibition of
liquor, Mr. A.T. Babu, one of the state convenors of NAPM in Karnataka,
on Monday has shocked everyone. The National Alliance of People's
Movements is organising a half day protest at Gandhi statute (M.G.Road)
between 10.30 hrs and 15.00 hrs on Thursday (24th July).  Senior NAPM
activists from all over the country including Medha Patkar will be
attending the protest. We invite you to attend the protest in great
numbers to protest this brutal murder. Sr.Celia will be the lead
organizer (9945716052) please encourage institutions, students and
friends to participate in large numbers.  Whoever can prepare banners,
placards, please do.  The focus should be on: demanding a CBI enquiry
into the murder of A.T.Babu, a social activist.  Secondly a condemnation
of the dastardly actions of the liquor lobby.  

Finally on the same day, after the protest, we will have a hall meeting
during which time, Medha Pathkar, P.Chennaiah and other leaders of the
NAPM and PUCL, Karnataka will address the participants and help plan a
future course of action.
