Dear friends,
The third batch of 90 protesters took part in the satyagraha for the release of jailed human rights and health activist Dr Binayak Sen, in Raipur today.
All 90 protestors have courted arrest. The courting of arrest occurred after the satyagrahis were detained at Subhash Stadium by the Chhattisgarh authorities, following peaceful non-violent protest. They were all later released.
The satyagrahis who courted arrest included:
- Amitdyuti Kumar (APDR)
- Chauton Das (Bandi Mukti Committee)
- Jayamitra (writer)
- Prashant Haldar (APDR)
- Santosh Rana (PCC)
- Meher Engineer (intellectual/scientist)
- Shyamoli Khastagir (social activist)

In solidarity,
Rakhi & Anirban
