BHRPC hails bail to Dr.

Binayak Sen, demands release of other HRDs and repeal of


repressive laws

Barak Human Rights Protection Committee (BHRPC) hails the order of the Supreme
Court of India granting bail to Dr. Binayak Sen made on 15 April 2011 and reiterates its
demands for a thorough and objective inquiry into the alleged conspiracy to falsely book
Dr. Sen in order to intimidate other human rights defenders and to repress voice of
dissent. BHRPC also urges the authorities in India to immediately release all other human
rights defenders who are put behind bars unjustly.

BHRPC further welcomes the statement of Union Minister for Law and Justice that laws
of sedition need to be revisited and urges the government to repeal/amend all repressive
laws including the infamous Armed Forces (Special Power) Act, 1958. BHRPC expresses
its solidarity with Irom Chanu Sharmila of Manipur who has been fasting for more than a
decade demanding repeal of the AFSPA.
