On Attack on Taslima Nasreen
August 10, 2007

We strongly condemn the physical attack on Taslima Nasreen, a Bangladeshi
writer. This attack goes against the democratic and secular character of the
Indian polity.

One may have differences over the writings of Taslima Nasreen or anybody
else, but this definitely is not the appropriate manner to express dissent.
This very act militates against the freedom of expression.

We demand that the Andhra Pradesh government take firm action against the
culprits responsible for this attack.
