NAPM condemns the fraudulent punishment by the Court in BJP ruled
Chattisgarh against Dr Binayak Sen.

We are shocked and pained to hear that the District and Sessions court
in Raipur has  charged Dr. Binayak Sen of sedition,  treason and
conspiracy against the State leading to life imprisonment. This is no
judgement but rather a viciously motivated and unjust punishment to a
non-violent human rights activist who has been challenging injustice
and violation of people's rights. It is obviously politically
motivated and aimed at threatening any and every struggle by adivasis
and other vulnerable sections of our society. We all condemn it as
unjustifiable. It's a cruel blow to the democratic fabric of our
country wherein the corporatised State and its position against the
natural resource based communities is reflected in an illegitimate way
to suppress the challenge.

Knowing Dr. Binayak Sen, the pediatrician, as a patriot with
commitment to protection of human rights and known to be a gentle
human being, there is no doubt that it is the same fraudulent 'proof '
and process that has led to such a condemnable contempt of  people's
struggles in this country. Having experienced the dealings of the BJP
Government in    Chhattisgarh, whether through Salwa Judum or through
the black act in the name of security of the State, it is obvious that
having failed in assuring the tribal society of and ensuring peace,
the Raman Singh Government and its agencies have resorted to
unconstitutional means to suppress Dr. Sen and others who represent
patriotism and not sedition.
We, the peaceful people's movements, should take a clue and get ready
to lodge a stronger struggle nationwide against the violence by any
pillar of the State. If not today, it would be never.
