Kolkata, Jan 21 (IANS) Welcoming the active and vocal support of rights bodies for Binayak Sen's immediate release, his mother Friday exuded confidence that the collective demand of well-wishers will force the government to release him.
'Several rights bodies across the country are demonstrating and demanding my son's immediate and unconditional release. I do believe that all their efforts will collectively stimulate a wave upon the government to release Binayak,' Anusua Sen told IANS over phone.
A day before Christmas, the Raipur district and sessions court found Binayak Sen, 59, and vice-president of the People's Union for Civil Liberties, guilty of sedition and links with Maoists. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, drawing widespread condemnation including from Amnesty International.
'I still have some faith within myself that they (governments) will not be able to keep him behind bars for long, but we have to wait for some more time,' Anusua said.
She also said that her family was looking forward to Jan 24, when the hearing for his bail petition is likely to be held at Chhattisgarh High Court.
'We are all waiting for the outcome of the hearing. I would have liked to be physically present, but my younger son and Binayak's wife Illina asked me to stay back because of my ill health,' she added.
The bail petition was filed earlier this month.

Let us be united against brahminical fascism to make india a democratic state .

Terming the arrest of Dalit activist Sudhir Dhawale as suppression of freedom of speech and the Dalit movement, a group of activists have demanded his release.
Home minister RR Patil has ordered an independent review by an inspector general followed by further action in the next 8 days.
Working in the tribal and naxal-hit areas in the backwards districts of Vidarbha, Dhawale was arrested by Gondia police under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and charged with sedition.
The social and Dalit movement activists have formed a 'Sudhir Dhawale Release Movement' that would raise voice overhis arrest in at least 8 districts in the next few days. The movement has the support of noted activist and documentary film maker Anand Patwardhan, Prakash Reddy, Anandraj Ambedkar, writer Urmila Pawar, Pratima Joshi. They were the part of the group that met the home minister.
They claimed that the police have falsely implicated Dhawale. "He was arrested under the charge of sedition, the charges under which freedom fighters were arrested by Britishers decades ago. He was arrested because he possessed the books related to Marxism and Maoism," said Patwardhan.
