Civil liberties are the “Fundamental rights and Political freedoms guaranteed to individuals as protection from any arbitrary actions or other interference of the government without due process of law.” Simply put, they’re the basic rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Indian Constitution,

Civil Liberties Gave us all the freedom to Develop to fulfill our potential & lead Fulfilling lives Peacefully. We want them fully implemented across India. The primary role of the state in any Liberal democracy is to protect and expand civil rights and freedoms guaranteed to each and every citizen by the Indian Constitution as well as international conventions and treaties. Despite constitutional guarantees, Indian civil liberties and Political rights are constantly in danger of violation. Recent events have proven huge violation of civil liberties in india.


Article 21 of the Indian constitution ensures the right to life with dignity and personal liberty. However, during the pandemic, we have witnessed Police Brutal Practices of beating people with lathis, using violence, abusive words, and how civilians are being treated by police personnel throughout the country. Indian citizens are losing their fundamental rights due to the authoritarian culture embraced by Police and bureaucrats. Many people who were out to do ordinary chores, or attending hospital, or for any other purpose have been beaten blue and black. There were instances where the youth had accelerated their vehicles while seeing the police and it led to accidents and injuries. Our grievance is that police ought to treat civilians with dignity and respect. There needs to be transparency and a model code of conduct in dealing with civilians.

The State and judicial authorities should uphold the law and protect the Human Rights, Civil Rights, and Fundamental rights of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution of India. Swatantrata Center would like to appeal to all the people of India to Raise your voice against Police Brutality, Violation of human rights and reclaim your rights and freedom guaranteed by the Indian constitution and Strongly express your dissent on violation of human rights and Civil liberties.


Sign the petition here to Citizens to raise its united voice against the culture of police brutality and Upholding civil liberties.
