A year ago Justice SS Shinde at the Bombay High Court was forced to withdraw the statements he made praising #FatherStanSwamy after he died contracting COVID-19 awaiting trial. This came after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) raised objections.
In an act of profound irony, the agency claimed that “there is a negative perception being created against the NIA.” The 84-year-old Jesuit priest was the oldest person to be arrested on terror charges.
He was incarcerated without evidence during the pandemic, denied care, medical treatment, and refused bail despite his deteriorating health. NIA also refused to provide Father Stan Swamy with a straw to drink water as he struggled with Parkinson’s disease.
