Recently we learned that his health had worsened and that the doctor appointed by the court to examine him recommended that he be transferred to Vellore for an angiography and perhaps, if needed, an angioplasty or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft without further delay. We believe that the court had ordered that Dr. Binayak receive treatment as per the doctor’s recommendations but there are still hurdles being created by the local administration. We urge you to use your good offices to see that this order is implemented immediately, as any delay may pose a risk to Dr. Binayak Sen’s life. We also urge that Dr. Binayak be granted the bail that has been denied to him for almost two years now. Dr. Binayak has a blemishless record of public service both as a medical doctor amongst the poor and as a human rights crusader, and it is our humble opinion that a great injustice has already been done to him. We urge you to review his case. Enclosure: Copy of Letter from Dr. Malhotra who examined Dr. Binayak Sen, March2008. Sincerely, 1.
