Let us strongly protests against the conviction order of the Sessions Court at
Raipur sentencing Dr. Binayak Sen, Piyush Guha and Narayan Sanyal to life
imprisonment, because the conviction of all t hree in this case is based on flimsy, unsubstantiated and fabricated evidence and is a serious miscarriage of justice and a blow to democracy.

Today, 25 years later, most of these murders remain unprosecuted. In the over 300 FIRs filed on murder charges, barely 10 persons been convicted. This outcome is only to be expected, given that the ruling Congress party prevented FIRs from being filed, refused to institute a commission of enquiry. The judiciary lent a helping hand by rejecting every petition demanding the same. No political party came out in aid of the victims or even to oppose the murders.

At 4.30 am on 14th August, Dhananjay Chatterjee will be hanged

years. Is it fair to hang a man who has already lived in prison for
13 years for a crime committed 14 years ago?
