The Elgar Parishad 16 Must Not Be Forgotten

The case represents what the government can do to well-meaning people who speak up against atrocities, and who stand up for the weak and dispossessed. For this reason alone, they are seen as enemies of the state and kept in prison for as long as the government can manage, writes Aakar Patel.

On the road to 2047, the state of our democracy cannot be a distant concern

Even as our society and nation lurch towards a future in which even the rudimentary semblances of democracy and decency are defied, we are increasingly witness to a shrinking support base of persons who can struggle and assert the need for these indispensable norms.

Ajaz Ashraf: Killing Father Stan with lies

Stan had, during interrogation, claimed that the evidence against him was ‘interpolated’, as he wrote in his book I Am Not A Silent Spectator; but NIA did not believe him. Now a forensic firm has confirmed it.

The hacker gained full access to Swamy's computer and dropped several files into a hidden folder, according to the report

Explosive story. We already knew the "evidence" against #StanSwamy and the #BhimaKoregaon accused was planted. Now evidence the hackers who planted the fake evidence were working in active cahoots with #PunePolice https://www.wired.com/story/modified-elephant-stan-swamy-hacked-evidence-frame-bhima-koregaon-16/ via #TheWired #India

The report by the digital forensics firm Arsenal Consulting, which was hired by Swamy's lawyers, said that the malware attack on his laptop began on October 19, 2014 and continued till June 12, 2019, when his laptop was seized by Pune Police

Evidence Planted On Activist #StanSwamy's Laptop, Claims US Report

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/over-40-documents-planted-on-stan-swamys-laptop-claims-us-lab-report-3603377

Very disappointing how few states raised the situation of #HumanRightsDefenders during #India's #UPR yesterday. A missed opportunity to
- press for the release of #KhurramParvez, now arbitrarily detained for nearly a year, or
- condemn the death of Fr #StanSwamy who died in prison after being denied bail.

https://media.un.org/en/asset/k1h/k1hn59hd9l

Not sure if the courts learned a lesson from their past mistakes. If they had done the same for Fr. Stan Swamy, he probably wouldn't have died in the prison.

This short memoir by Father #StanSwamy tells us the 85 year old activist was aware of how he was falsely implicated, by whom & why

He was referred to as a "dreaded criminal"

His sparse belongings including his mattress & pillows were taken away when his room was raided !! +

What is "soft torture"?
Someone tickling the soles of your feet with a feather?

#StanSwamy was imprisoned to die. As have other activists (inconvenient for the BJP Govt) been.

And the judiciary just makes polite noises.

This is torture by judicial proxy. Nothing else.

“There is now… something called ‘soft torture’. We know about third and second degree methods, but you have soft torture.”

“Everybody has talked about #StanSwamy . Why could he not be given medical treatment earlier? Isn’t that torture?”
