Small Victory in Narmada Valley
2007/09/29

Good news for once: the anti-dam protesters who were beaten up and
jailed for peacefully protesting in July have won their case against
the Madhya Pradesh state government, who now have to pay
compensation.
A video of the arrest helped them win their case.
