Goa Revolution Day Celebration on June 18 in Panjim

Goa Federation of Mines Affected People (GOAMAP) will organise special program to celebrate Goa Revolution Day on June 18, 2009 at T.B. Cunha Hall, Panaji, Goa. Revolution Day is significant in the history of Goa’s Freedom Struggle in order to uphold civil liberties and sovereignty of the People of Goa. 63 year ago on June 18, 1946 Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya defied fascist colonial Portuguese regime to assert freedom of speech and expression as well as freedom of Public Assembly in Margao. Dr.Lohiya was arrested and that resulted in mass upsurge against the Portuguese regime.

Advocate Jos Peter D,souza, a senior High Court Lawyer in Goa will speak on Judicial Accountability at a Goa Revolution Day program on June 18, 2009 at 3.00 pm. Members of public are invited to participate in the program.
