Forthright and excellent piece by @nandinisundar, telling it exactly like it is. "The major threat this government fears is the Constitution, in whose name all these activists have worked, and which the ruling party wants to gut."

Release Natasha and Devangana now. Release all anti-CAA protestors.

“All undertrial prisoners are presumed to be innocent, even those booked under Special Acts, and hence, they must be given the same benefits of relief as those who are booked under other sections of the Indian Penal Code,” the statement said. https://thewire.in/law/memorandum-sudha-bharadwaj-shoma-sen

In these distressing times of the lockdown, when the GoI should have ideally focused on food security, employment guarantee, and ensuring affordable healthcare to all, it is an utter shame that their energy is directed towards arresting dissenting voices instead.

Shoma Sen and Sudha Bhardwaj, Bhima Koregaon detainees have been in Byculla jail for two years which is now affected by Covid-19. They are old with co-mobidities. Appeal to CM Maharashtra to release them forthwith and not expose them to the Virus unnecessarily.

As Byculla Jail faces spread of Covid-19, Justice PB Sawant is among 660 concerned citizens to request release of prisoners of conscience Sudha Bharadwaj and Shoma Sen.
Political prisoners are being freed worldwide, this should also happen in India.

With the rampant spread of Coronavirus in Indian Prisons, the health of inmates is at unprecedented risk. We ask the HPC to release Sudha Chaudhary and Shoma Sen from Byculla Jail. It is highly condemnable to keep elderly men and women incarcerated. http://shorturl.at/egiPR

पूरी दुनिया में राजनीतिक कैदियों को जेल से निकालने की कवायद चल रही है। हमारे यहां भी होना चाहिए।
सुधा भारद्वाज और शोमा सेन मानवाधिकारों की अदद सेनानी हैं।
जिस Byculla Jail में वो कैद हैं वहाँ भी #COVID19 फैल रहा है। उन्हें जल्दी से जल्दी जेल से निकाला जाए।
