January 30, 2011
Time:5-7 p.m.
Description:Attend a candlelight vigil to protest the Indian courts' unjust treatment of doctor and human rights activist Binayak Sen. Sen was sentenced to life in prison in December 2010 following his questionable arrest and unjust trial, and his sentence has sparked international outrage. A compassionate doctor who has spent most of his life providing medical care to indigenous and marginalized communities, Sen incurred the ire of the state government and police for having been a vocal opponent of the atrocities committed by state police and state-sponsored militias. Noam Chomsky, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen and Amnesty International have termed Sen's conviction a mockery of justice.
