Solidarity needed! Demand Odisha government immediately releases Abhay Sahoo
"It is a matter of great concern that Odisha government in order to push forward the POSCO steel project at Dhinkia and Gobindpur near Paradip port has once again arrested the leader of the anti-POSCO resistance movement – POSCO Pratirod Sangram Samithi (PPSS) and CPI leader, Abhay Sahoo. The arrest comes after years of heroic resistance put up by the peasants and fisher folk of Dhinkia and Gobindpur against all attempts by the Odisha government and POSCO hired goons to take away their precious land.
Abhay Sahoo was arrested on 25th November when he was travelling from Paradip near the proposed project area. Currently his bail plea has been rejected and has been remanded for 14 days in judicial custody."
