Hi

This is a very interesting post!!

Can we find an answer?

If there is actually a regulation concerning possession of firearms related material. Then my questions would be

1. What percentage(10%, 30%, 51%) of firearm content would constitute a violation for this copy.

2. What constitutes illicit firearm news/chatter? Does it only pertain to discussion of sale/reviews of firearms in India? And if so are antiques, historic, current military manufacture exempt from said material?

So if there are restrictions then there may be issues/specifics left a little uncertain and/or open to different legal interpretations.

Not illegal, but certainly disturbing.

My idea of disturbing would not be the firearms magazine that a traveller is openly thumbing his way through ...... but the potential links/bookmarks to How to build a pipe bomb or how to build an I.E.D. dotcoms that may unknowingly lay lurking (yet digitally concealed) in a shady character's laptop. Definitely no laws or ways of screening easily for these.

With respect I have read a great deal of material including the 144 page transcript/record of interview with the police and federal agents and this stinks of someone being wrongly accused.

There is a lot of support for this person in Australia from fair minded intelligent people not just the "loony lefties".

This has nothing to do with what happened in Bali and I personally know the parents of a Bali victim and I have utmost contempt and dislike for terrorists.

If you know more than has been made public then please let the world know. On what has been presented this person just happens to be related to the wrong people and been in the wrong place at the wrong time. That is not a crime in my eyes.

As for the Himmat01's post, how do you know that he was aware of what his cousins were doing? He is proclaiming quite the opposite and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

In this country we are supposed to have a presumption of innocence unless convicted in a court of law.

Please see excerpt from media release issued a short time ago.

I knew from day one they had this wrong

The Commonwealth Director of Public prosecutions has dropped the terror charge against Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef.

Commonwealth prosecutors withdrew the charge of supporting a terrorist organisation in Brisbane Magistrates Court this afternoon.

Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions Damian Bugg and Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Keelty will hold a joint press conference this afternoon.

I feel ashamed of my government at the moment unless they have some definitive evidence against this guy. So if you believe carrying gun magazines in India is quite innocent, I would think again and read something else.
Talk about a paranoid world we live in today. Our government deserves the boot over this. Mind you the opposition also support the government's position. They need the boot as well. It seems anarchy reigns!!

At least he is free now. The Indian government have been quick to take the credit and praise Australia for the justice.

Earlier this year a UK citizen was held in India (Punjab)on trumped up charges. To date he is still being held in prison and subject to torture. Why is the Indian government reluctant to free this UK citizen ?

The claims by Punjab Police have been picked apart by the press.
Recently to prolong process he was charged with robbery etc. Again wage slips and passports prove that the accussed was in the UK at the time of the robbery.

Full details below.

Gakhal (Jalandhar), December 28: EVEN as the police secured two days’ more remand of the three alleged terrorists arrested by them here, the people of Gakhal village today protested against yesterday evening’s alleged police visit to a spot near Paramjit Singh Dhaddi’s tubewell which has been on contract for the last eight years with a villager, Mandip Singh. The villagers alleged that the police created a hole in a small mound of hay near the tubewell.
