Veteran Indian social activist has been arrested and 1400 of his supporters detained as authorities defy a protest to force tougher laws against corruption.
Anna Hazare,74, was taken into custody early Tuesday as he prepared to lead a parade to a public park in New Delhi where he was to begin a “fast unto death”.
Hundreds of of his supporters gathered outside the building as he was driven away.
“Police have detained us,” Arvind Kejriwal, an aide to Hazare, told NDTV broadcaster before being taken away by plainclothers police in a white car early on Tuesday.
In a pre-taped appeal, Hazare urged his supporters to protest despite his arrest.
“My dear countrymen, the second freedom struggle has begun, and now I have also been arrested. But will this movement be stopped by my arrest? No, not at all. Don’t let it happen,” he said.—…
…Hazare’s protest has tapped into deep public anger against corruption in India as the Congress party-led government battles a series of graft scandals.
These include the sale of mobile phone licenses and the hosting of last year’s Commonwealth Games, which together lost the country as much as $40bn, according to government auditors.
The Indian parliament has been paralysed by anti-corruption protests for two weeks, stalling crucial legislation.

Interesting
Most of our shirts were printed by the wonderful Jen at Sunrise t-shirts
3,000 march through Hackney & Haringey on Saturday 13th August to demand:
Give Our Kids A Future!
The march was organised and publicised just 2 days before by the hastily formed North London Unity Assembly initiated mainly by Turkish organisations and the Haringey and Hackney Anti-cuts Alliances [see list of some of the supporters at the end].
The aim was to provide a united community response to the recent disturbances, especially those in Tottenham and Hackney, and to the causes of despair and frustration that can result in riots. The march was led all the way by a dozen children behind a huge ‘Give Our Kids A Future!’ banner, followed by a mass of placards and banners from a wide range of community groups, trades union branches and political organisations as well as hand-crafted placards from scores of individuals.
The Unity Assembly is calling for a culture of valuing, not demonising, youth and unemployed people; support for those affected by the rioting, including the immediate rehousing of people made homeless, grants for affected small businesses, and restoration of damaged areas; reversal of all cuts to youth services in our boroughs; no cuts to public services, but instead, investment into community-led regeneration of our communities, including access for all to decent housing, jobs, education and sports facilities; an independent community inquiry into policing methods in our boroughs, and an end to discriminatory stop and search; and availability of legal support for all those people arrested by police.
Criticism of the rich is less welcome. The ‘Loot only the Rich’ badge published here yesterday was blocked from tagging and then banned by Facebook. Though this failed, maybe as it had already gone all over. (see here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001284179241)
The badge/graphic was tagged to about 200 of the 1200 ‘friends’ on the page before Farcebook could block it.
Then the page of ‘TheFree Mikegilli’ displayed the following, which still appears on the Homepage. But the Badge was not deleted.. maybe as its too widely copied already.

HERE’S SOME MORE CRITICISM OF THE BRITISH RICH
Cameron (centre) at Oxford ''This society of toffs was known for its practices of pot-smoking, drinking and eating to excess before carrying out some "robust" redecoration of the restaurants..''
Grant Shapps, Housing Minister, declared today that it would be to empower councils and housing associations to evict tenants found to be involved in the riots. The definition of anti-social behaviour is to be extended from the immediate vicinity of their houses to almost anywhere.
Our bankers, exposed for their ineptitude and greedy speculation, have been bailed out to the tune of nearly £40,000,000,000 of taxpayers’ money – over £1,000 per British adult – yet continue to receive tens of billions in bonuses. The richest dodge their taxes, with the authorities writing of billions, like Vodaphone (£6 billions excused). Public services are being closed to keep our rich elite in champers.
mmm..maybe I should try them on..
Our police, the London Met most of all, have been shown to be riddled with corrupt practices – with cops receiving payments from newspapers for confidential information; investigations tainted by officers receiving gifts, lunches and even jobs from the people under suspicion; and just last week a Chief Constable and his deputy suspended for alleged fraud.
And of course, we have our Prime Minister, David Cameron. In his own youth, Cameron was, along with London Mayor Boris Johnson, a member of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford University (see picture on right ; Cameron is in the center). This society of toffs was known for its practices of pot-smoking, drinking and eating to excess before carrying out some “robust” redecoration of the restaurants they used for their revelry, the main difference with this week’s rioters being that Mr Cameron’s associates had their Daddies’ money to pay for the damage they wreaked.
Last week London police issued an appeal to inform on 'All Anarchist Sympathisers'. Some people complained saying its a political philosophy not a crime, most anarchists are pacifists and feminists as it turns out. We made a badge saying 'I am an anarchist..Report Me'
Today’s badge supports our friends and kids.. now all being witch hunted because a few acted very badly… Tag or share if you like it.
Facebook didnt LIKE this graphic at all. First they BLOCKED it from Tagging (so 800 friends didnt get it). Then they announced repeatedly that it was offensive (to the RICH) and HAD BEEN REMOVED. But it was not removed, maybe they had 2nd thoughts as it had been shared
please share or tag to counter the witch hunt!
This week the upper class and media are foaming at the mouth. screaming ‘Grass Up The Subhuman Slime’
Competing to vilify and criminalise all our friends and children who dared defy them. yelling ‘Punish them Punish the SCUM’
Harping on and on about a tiny minority of really anti social actions to turn half a million brave rebels into ‘Sickening Yobbos’.
Of course a money free shopper can’t defend him/her self.. Even though they’re usually just taking back a bit of what’s been robbed off them to pay for the wars, police, bloated bank accounts, mansions, yachts, private islands, etc that our rulers are addicted to.
We live in an obscene system which is wasting and destroying. We need to band together urgently to make alternatives as this one falls apart.
Lets not be forced into condemning and grassing our kids and each other for fear of a Murdoch inspired witch hunt.
