Barak Human Rights Protection Committee (BHRPC) hails the order of the Supreme Court of India granting bail to Dr. Binayak Sen made on 15 April 2011 and reiterates its demands for a thorough and objective inquiry into the alleged conspiracy to falsely book Dr. Sen in order to intimidate other human rights defenders and to repress voice of dissent. BHRPC also urges the authorities in India to immediately release all other human rights defenders who are put behind bars unjustly. BHRPC further welcomes the statement of Union Minister for Law and Justice that laws of sedition need to be revisited and urges the government to repeal/amend all repressive laws including the infamous Armed Forces (Special Power) Act, 1958. BHRPC expresses its solidarity with Irom Chanu Sharmila of Manipur who has been fasting for more than a decade demanding repeal of the AFSPA. http://bhrpc.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/release-dr-binayak-sen-protect-hrds-and-repeal-repressive-laws/#comment-46 -- W A Laskar Freelance Reporter and Human Rights Defender with Barak Human Rights Protection Committee <http://bhrpc.wordpress.com/>, http://bhrpc.wordpress.com 15, Panjabari Road, Darandha, Six Mile, Guwahati-781037, Assam, India Cell: +919401942234 Visit my blog <http://www.rightspeaks.blogspot.com> at www.rightspeaks.blogspot.com Skype: rights.defender -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
