<p>A supporter of veteran Indian social activist Anna Hazare shouts anti-government slogans while blocking a police vehicle carrying Hazare after he was arrested by police in New Delhi, India on August 16, 2011. Police arrested Hazare on Tuesday, just hours before he was due to begin a fast to the death, as the beleaguered government cracked down on a self-styled Gandhian activist agitating for a new &#8220;freedom&#8221; struggle.
