Mangalore, Dec 10: On the occasion of the World Human Rights Day, a handcuff protest was held by the members of DYFI, SFI and JMS to protest against the arrest of journalist Naveen Soorinje on Monday, December 10 in front of the DC Office.
The members of DYFI, SFI and JMS protested by handcuffing themselves and shouted slogans.
Addressing the protestors, Muneer Katipalla said that the main aim of observing the World Human Rights Day is to make people aware of their rights and assist them in securing those rights. “The government has been violating human rights in many instances, especially during the Padil home stay attack and the Vittal Malekudiya’s arrest”, he said.
“If the government continues to violate human rights, we are even ready to go to jail. Naveen Soorinje has been arrested for exposing the true face of the saffron outfits in relation to the Padil home stay attack. He has also been booked with false cases, which have no connection with the attack”, he added.
Leaders namely Dayanand Shetty, Bharathi Bolar, Nithin Kuthar, Hamza Kenya, Sukanya, P B D’Sa, Suresh Bhat Bakrabail, Vasudeva Ucchil among others were present during the protest.
