Free two activists held in Assam: Team Anna

New Delhi: Reformer Anna Hazare’s civil society group India Against Corruption (IAC) on Sunday demanded the release of two Right to Information (RTI) activists arrested in Assam and demanded an apology from the government. Akhil Gogoi and Mukut of the group Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) were arrested from the Guwahati Press Club premises on Friday for allegedly inciting violence earlier in the week in Assam’s capital Dispur. “India Against Corruption, Delhi, strongly condemns such high-handed, brutal and undemocratic actions by the government and requests all citizens to join hands to oppose the government’s grave misconduct,” said a statement from the IAC. “Gogoi and Mukut must be immediately released by the government, an apology issued, and the police officers responsible for the arrests disciplined,” it said.
