Enclosed is a link to a documentary examining the illegal detention, abduction, abuse, and torture of "naxals" by the police forces of West Bengal, under the auspices of the Communist Party of India(Marxist). The films focuses on the conduct of the police forces during period of time starting in the late 1990s and ending in the early 2000s. For example, one of the casual labourers that were interviewed recalls the treatment afforded to him when he had the audacity to demand that he be paid the minimum wage: he was thrown in jail and accused of theft.
The documentary has been uploaded to YouTube and split into five parts. In Bengali with English subtitles (approximately 45 minutes). http://www.youtube.com/p/B8372C88FC1E74D3& Music: Kabir Suman Editing: Sudip Manna Camera: Partha Goswami Script and Direction: Sitangsu Sekhar ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
