Police Arrests in Pune Rally

On the 28th of May 2006, at around 9:30 a.m., as the protesters started gathering, the police used threats to disperse the protesters, the banners and other display materials were snatched and threats of usage of lathi and arrests were issued.

People from various background like engineers, doctors, IT professionals, lawyers started gathering there. As the police realised that the threats were not deterring the protesters, they arrested two vans full of protesters who were then taken to Swargate Police Station.

YFE- Pune started contacting various media across the country and also came in touch with YFE in other cities. Youths then gathered at the police station to support their fellow protesters who were arrested. The arrested included medical students, engineering students, IT and IT-related professionals among others.

This amount of 7000/- asked from students needs to be collected as soon as possible, various individuals and organizations are requested to come forward and support the Pune movement.

Plan for 24/05/2006

We are planning to conduct some activities at Bal Gandharva Chowk. The general plan is to emphasize on the so called brain drain. The plan-of-action would be like this:
A group of students would be sitting on the footpath reading GRE books, while a set of students will perform street plays every hour telling the people what this is all about. Simultaneously we would also be distributing pamphlets.

Also there would be students performing the job of "vehicle cleaners" to show that this is what they would have to do as things are going. Their T-Shirts would be carrying the slogan too, something on the lines of "After PG I have to do this"

These activities would continue till about 6:30 or so, and then there would be a pledge that all of us would be taking (candle) for what we stand for.

This would continue till about 8:30 pm.

Note: All the above mentioned activities HAVE to be conducted in a non-violent manner as the people present here would be of their own will. Any untoward incidents would be the indivdual's responsibility.
