On October 4th of October Shai arrived for a three day visit to India, to play at this private party the following day in the highly regarded and exclusive "72 Degrees East" Club, which caters to the sons and daughters of the rich and famous Mumbay (formerly Bombay) in India.
This party turned into a fiasco when Police raided the club on a tip off and arrested around 240 of the party guests and the party organizers and the DJs at the party for various drug related charges. Accusing Shai of ridiculous charges of possession and intent to sell drugs.
So far in the preliminary hearing there was no physical evidence presented, and the blood urine tests came back clear. and three weeks have already passed in his arrest and he's held in a huge room with over a 100 prisoners with no hygene whatsoever. and with the beaurocracy of india's law system a man can wait up to 3 years before reaching trial.
Israelis consulate and embassy do not seem to give a shit about what's going on... their excuse is that they do not get involved in drugs charges... they have already condemned him without having seen any evidence - we're collecting this petition to help with also Israel's government and india's government.
The only reason Shai is under arrest is because the Police and media of India who could not stick charges on the sons of India's rich and famous managed to find a scape goat in the form of the defenseless 26 year old Shai Ben Haiun, a foreigner against the windmills of justice (or injustice) now since he's not the son of some celebrity or influential government minister, and arrives from a simple background is awaiting trial in Bombai Jail without possibility to make bail while all the others were released from any incarceration.
INSTEAD OF ACCUSING THE ORGANIZERS, PROMOTERS, CLUB LANDLORDS AND THE SECURITY OF THE CLUB - INDIA'S POLICE AND MEDIA WOULD RATHER BLAME AN INNOCENT FOREIGNER ARTIST FOR THE SHORTCOMINGS OF INDIA'S SOCIETY.
