Target: Kolkata Police Commissioner, Government of West Bengal, Ministry of Home Affairs
Goal: We call for immediate action to safeguard democratic rights, ensure transparency in law enforcement, and uphold the freedom of expression for all citizens.
The abrupt police intervention at the trailer launch of 'The Bengal Files' in Kolkata highlights a troubling pattern of suppression of free speech and peaceful assembly. Regardless of one's views on the content of the film, the right to express ideas and gather peacefully is fundamental to a healthy democracy. Actions that stifle these rights undermine public trust and set a dangerous precedent for future discourse.
We urge the authorities to clarify the reasons for this intervention, uphold constitutional protections, and ensure that all citizens—regardless of their beliefs or affiliations—can exercise their rights without fear of censorship or intimidation.
Key Demands
- Publicly disclose the legal grounds for halting 'The Bengal Files' trailer launch.
- Ensure all future events are protected from arbitrary police intervention.
- Establish an independent review of law enforcement actions related to freedom of expression.
- Reaffirm commitment to constitutional rights of free speech and peaceful assembly.
