Forum on Dissent and Repression in the US and India: Free Dr. Binayak Sen! Stop Harassing Peace activists in the US!

This extreme action comes on top of the arrest and conviction of several political and human rights activists in different parts of India in the last few years.

Come find out more about these cases and the context in which these acts of repression and silencing of dissent are occurring in the US and in India!
