More info The Chhattisgarh High Court has yestardy (Feb 10th, 2011)
rejected the bail application of noted human rights activist Dr.
Binayak Sen who was convicted to life imprisonment on December 24th
2010 on 'sedition' charges. We strongly condemns this verdict, which
once more highlights the brutal face of state repression and the
crackdown on dissenting voices".
Throughout the course of the farcical trial against Dr. Binayak Sen,
Piyus...h Guha and Narayan Sanyal, it was amply evident that the
Chhattisgarh government had absolutely no credible evidence to back
its demand for punishment on 'sedition' charges. Even then, and
despite the fact that the Chhattisgarh government had clearly tried to
plant false evidences against all of three accused, the Raipur
Sessions Court convicted them. And now, the High Court has also upheld
this outrageous judgment.
It is a known fact that Dr. Binayak Sen is one of the most vocal
critics of the Salwa Judum military campaign of the Chhattisgarh
government. Today, all those who have criticized the Chhattisgarh
government's policies of forcibly displacing people from their land
and livelihoods to make way for corporates - whether is Kartam Joga,
Kopa Kunjam or thousands of other languishing in jails in Chhattisgarh
- find themselves being punished for their 'crimes'. Not just in
Chhattisgarh, but in Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and elsewhere in
the country, dissenting voices are being brutally suppressed.
We demands the immediate release of Dr. Binayak Sen along with Piyush
Guha & Narayan Sanyal and stands in solidarity with the wide-spread
movement against this crackdown on democratic dissent.
AISA appeals all democratic-progressive forces to join the protest
demonstration at JANTAR MANTAR on 12th Feb, at 1pm. against the
Chattisgarh High Court's rejection of bail application of Dr.Binayak
Sen.
