PUCL-UP Statement on unsolicited phone calls to its Organizing Secretary
Since December 2007, the present team of PUCL-UP has been active in exposing illegal state violence, particularly in the name of terrorism and also has effectively intervened in many cases. The PUCL intervention in the spate of arrests that followed the UP Courts Bomb Blasts case, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Jaipur blast cases and finally the Jamia fake encounters has invited the irk of the state establishments so much that most of the active PUCL members have been implicated in many false cases. Here, it needs to be reminded that none of the PUCL activists have had any criminal cases against them before their stated position on the Jamia Nagar encounter and having pointed out the deliberate targeting of Muslim youth particularly from Azamgarh. Further, PUCL-UP and its members have been subjected to
covert and overt threats of action from the State departments using allegations that PUCL-UP is a group of Naxalite sympathizers apart from protecting terrorists!
The latest in this spate of harassment happened on the 23rd May, 2010,when the Organizing Secretary of PUCL –UP, Shahnawaz Alam received 2 calls on his mobile phone from one Mr. Mallesh (080-25559775) claiming to be from the Crime Branch – Bangalore, BJP governed Karnatka policeman quizzing him about his phone number being found in the 2008 call records of the sim card of the suspect allegedly apprehended for the bomb planted in the Chinnaswamy stadium on 17th April, 2010. .

The PUCL – UP unequivocally declares that the organization and all its members are willing to cooperate with the State agencies with respect to any investigation as long as the procedure established by law is followed. However, PUCL-UP condemns all attempts to bully them into
silence or harass them using the Criminal Justice Process in order to stop the work that they have been involved in.
