Our friends in India need all the support they can get. Please spread this. Greenpeace India has been fighting alongside local groups to protect the forest of Mahan, in Central India, against the ravages of coal mining -- and that fight is coming to a head right now. Last week, the local administration met with Greenpeace and community members to promise that a new free and fair village meeting (a gram sabha) would be held in about three weeks to seek consent for the mine. But just yesterday, the police seized communication and power equipment -- and arrested two activists. The government is trying to silence voices of dissent and suppress civil society. Its outrageous: And we all need to speak up. Please sign the petition linked below, and then like and share this far and wide!
