The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
Fix Accountability:
Punish Those Responsible for Stan Swamy's Death
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses intense
grief at the death of Father Stan Swamy.
The 84 year-old Jesuit priest and activist who championed the rights and
causes of the adivasis in far flung areas of Jharkhand was jailed last
October on trumped up charges under the draconian UAPA and was sought to be
linked with the Bhima Koregaon case.
He was denied treatment for his various ailments including the debilitating
Parkinson's. It needs to be underlined that it is only after a campaign was
conducted by various human rights and disability rights organisations that
even a sipper to drink liquids was made available to him in jail.
The numerous appeals made to shift him out of the over crowded Taloja jail
that had seen a huge rise in Covid cases went unheeded. His appeals for bail
and being sent home to were rejected. Thanks to the Bombay High Court's
intervention he was admitted to a private hospital when his condition
started deteriorating after he was infected with Covid. But it was too late
to prevent his death in custody.
Those responsible for foisting false cases on him, his continued detention
in jail and inhuman treatment cannot escape accountability. It is incumbent
that all those jailed in the Bhima Koregaon case and other detenues under
politically motivated cases, misusing draconian laws like UAPA, Sedition
etc, be released forthwith.
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon the people to express their
outrage in protest and to rise to protect the fundamental rights guaranteed
under the Constitution.

Dear Shri Rashtrapati ji,
We the undersigned leaders of major opposition parties are writing to you in
deep anguish expressing our intense grief and outrage at the death of Father
Stan Swamy under custody.
The 84 year-old Jesuit priest and activist who championed the rights and
causes of the adivasis in far flung areas of Jharkhand was jailed last
October on trumped up charges under the draconian UAPA and was sought to be
linked with the Bhima Koregaon case.
He was denied treatment for his various ailments including debilitating
Parkinson's. Only after a nationwide campaign was conducted that even a
sipper to drink liquids was made available to him in jail.
The numerous appeals made to shift him out of the over crowded Taloja jail
that had seen a huge rise in Covid cases went unheeded. His appeals for bail
and being sent home too were rejected. Thanks to the Bombay High Court's
intervention he was admitted to a private hospital when his condition
started deteriorating after he was infected with Covid. But it was too late
to prevent his death in custody.
We are urging your immediate intervention as the President of India to
direct "your government" to act against those responsible for foisting false
cases on him, his continued detention in jail and inhuman treatment. They
must be held accountable. It is now incumbent that all those jailed in the
Bhima Koregaon case and other detenues under politically motivated cases,
misusing draconian laws like UAPA, Sedition etc, be released forthwith.
