[email protected] 28.4.2014 Press Statement on Attack on Shabnam Hashmi We condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Shabnam Hashmi in Rai Barley. She was attacked at about 12.30 on April 28 while she with her associates was distributing leaflets brought out by JAVAB- Janvadi Vichar Andolan Bharat barely 100 metres from the Gadaganj Police Station in side the Rai-Barely constituency. Shabnam Hashmi and her associate were attacked by a gang of about 20 hoodlums who snatched all the Javab Leaflets while pushing and abusing Shabnam Hashmi in the most foul and sexist terms. At the police station Shabnam had to argue with the SHO, telling him that no one can be stopped from exercising their right to free expression and that he had to file an FIR against the attack on her and the threats of rape and sexist abuses. The SHO did not register an FIR and did not give her a copy of her complaint. We demand that the hoodlums are immediately apprehended and coercive tactics of the BJP not be allowed by the local administration.
