He was arrested on 8th October 2020, under a colonial framed anti-terror law ‘Unlawful Activities Prevention Act’ (UAPA) and was the oldest person accused of terrorism in India. He said before his arrest “I am not a silent spectator”. He stood with the indigenous and claimed their constitutional rights in a peaceful and non-violent way. The unambiguous outrage from citizens in India and the world across after his death in custody was loud and clear. A large number of them called it “a murder by the State and the judiciary”. Rights activists, lawyers, former judges, academics, writers, poets, civil society groups, human rights commissions across the world, member States of UN, EU parliamentarians, Representatives of US Congress condemned the Indian State for its inhuman treatment and the judiciary for its failure to protect the rights of Stan and other human rights defenders. UN Special Rapporteur Mary Lawlor said, his ‘death will remain a stain on India’s human rights record’. The Federation of Asian Bishops Conference called him a “martyr of the under- privileged”. Those in political power accused him of supporting the banned extremist Maoist group, inciting violence, waging war against the State and plotting to kill the Prime Minister. They accused him of being a terrorist and an anti-national. Hence, imprisoned him as per the law, and they claimed, ‘due processes’ were followed. Seeing the outcry all over the world after the ‘death’ of Fr. Stan, the external affairs ministry of India quickly defended the Government action stating, “Authorities in India act against violations of law [emphasis added] and not against legitimate exercise of rights [emphasis added]. All such actions are strictly in accordance with the law.” The question remains: Are the archaic human made laws of a country more important than human life and justice? Does a lawful act necessarily mean ‘just’? Let us recall what Jesus said, “Sabbath is made for human and not human for the Sabbath”. (Mk. 2:27) Stan Swamy was one among the 5,922 people arrested. Most of them are still languishing, under inhuman conditions, in different prisons in India under UAPA between 2016 and 2019 except for 132 acquitted1. The majority of them are either minorities, or dalits or tribals or HR defenders who had raised questions about the laws and policies of the government 1 Written response of the Minister of State for Home, G. Kishan Reddy in Rajya Sabha (Upper house) on 9th Feb. 2021. Promotio Iustitiae n. 131, 2021/1 9 basing their protest on the Constitution of the country and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Today, Stan has become a symbol of hope for human rights defenders, voice of the voiceless indigenous people and everyone who stands for truth and justice. As I write this editorial of this PI, it is shocking to hear that Joannah Stutchbury (aged 67), environmental Woman Human Rights Defender was shot dead on 15th July 2021 outside of her home in Kenya. She defended Kiambu forest against environmental destruction from business interests. In fact, hundreds and thousands of Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) are killed all over the world every year, many of them with impunity. According to information gathered by Front Line Defenders (FLDs), in 2020 it averages to almost one person killed daily for carrying out peacefully their work of defending human rights. This number keeps increasing rapidly every year in almost every geographic region. The recent UN report (A/HRC/46/35) says, “Killings were committed in 64 countries worldwide, a third of UN member states.” Latin America tops the list with maximum killings particularly in Colombia & Brazil. The latest FLD report says, “69% of those killed worked on land, environmental or indigenous people’s rights… Impunity remained the norm and killings were frequently preceded by aggressive on- and offline smear campaigns aimed at discrediting the work of HRDs.” The

  • MISSION SARANDA a War for India's Natural Resources Gladson Dungdung Deshaj Prakashan, Bihar-Jharkhand June 2015
    MISSION SARANDA A War for India's Natural Resources Gladson Dungdung Deshaj Prakashan, Bihar-Jharkhand June 2015 As I write this review, Joe Lamb, who set up The Borneo Project, emails me from Kota Kinabulu, Malaysia about the success of the World Indigenous Summit on Environment and Rivers [WISER], that he attended last week. Indigenous peoples around the world, it seems, are showing their mettle ever more forcefully. More and more non-tribal people are taking notice of their plight and beginning to appreciate what the human species as a whole is losing. Governments and supra- national corporations are being forced to act. For example, in the same week as WISER, Tata Steel's Tribal Cultural Society held their second “Pan-India Tribal Conclave”. The Gandhi Foundation's initiative in opening negotiations with Tata Steel in 2013 about their human rights abuses was very likely a factor in their decision to hold the first one last year. With no apparent irony in their publicity, the date for that Conclave was chosen, they said, “to mark the birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda”. Birsa Munda was a freedom fighter and is honoured to this day by all Adivasis as a hero. He was born on 15 November 1875 at Ulihatu, Ranchi District, in what was then Bihar. He was arrested on 3 March 1900 in Jamkopai forest while he was sleeping along with his tribal guerrilla army which was fighting against British forces. About 460 tribal people were arrested of which one was given capital punishment, 39 were transported for life and 23 given 14 years jail sentences.

    CHINA “The government wants us to shut up” January 29, 2014 10:11 amViews: 39 There is rising discontent among Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong after the Erwiana scandal Sally Tang, Socialist Action (CWI in Hong Kong) “I have two kids and two parents to feed. I must send money home to them; if I don’t feed them, who will? I must carry on.” Nisa, in Hong Kong since 2008, explained why hundreds of thousands of Indonesian women come to Hong Kong, Singapore and other cities to work as domestic workers. Nisa’s first job was not a good experience. She suffered verbal and sometimes physical abuse from her employer. The reason she decided to endure this nightmare and finish her two-year contract is because of the excessive agency fees. “I had to finish my contract even if I’m abused by my boss. If I change job, the agency will charge me again, a new fee, which takes up another seven months of my salary.” http://chinaworker.info/en/2014/01/29/5697/ “Free Wu Guijun” – protests in 13 cities around the world Support grows in campaign for release of imprisoned workers’ representative chinaworker.info and CWI reporters It is now five months since Wu Guijun, a migrant worker employed at the Diweixin Product Factory in Shenzhen, was taken into detention by police.

  • The Indian Farmers' Protests: from Local Strikes to a Worldwide
    TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS VOL. LIV, NO. 2 The Indian Farmers’ Protests: From Local Strikes to a Worldwide Movement* Eric Ports1 Abstract: The Indian Farmer’s Protests provide an example of the disharmony between the citizens of developing countries and their government caused by the economic turbulence of 2020. Although the roots of the issue are decades-old, new legislation passed late last year built upon the hardships farmers faced during the pandemic and created one of the largest protest movements in human history. This situation has led to an immense wave of unrest as this segment of the population loses faith in their government. Keywords: India, Protests, Unrest, Public Policy Introduction In August of 2020, the Parliament of India announced three new agricultural acts which sought to reform India’s farming industry. The so-called Farm Bills were made into law in the following September, prompting massive protests on behalf of farmers from several Indian states. The bills, in essence, deregulate certain aspects of the agricultural sector, such as minimum selling price and stockpiling limits, which were set up to protect the majority of India’s farmers who rely on such protections to compete with large corporations. They also create the foundations of an electronic trade network, an amenity that few farmers can afford, emboldening national and global corporations. The farmers in several lesser-developed states saw the bills as an affront to their livelihood so that the Indian government could attract foreign private investment. Since these initial demonstrations, the protests have grown exponentially, and farmers’ unions have put out a list of demands that would put an end to the tension.
