Father Stan Swamy's custodial death - How far does the right to bail extend in the country?
Manage episode 298629341 series 2533765
On July 6, Father Stan Swamy, a Jesuit priest and tribal rights activist died in custody. Last year, he was arrested in a case related to 2017 Bhima Koregaon violence in Pune. Father Swamy had Parkinson’s disease and was detected with Covid-19 in May.
Why is it hard for someone as old as Stan Swamy to get bail. Suno India’s Menaka Rao spoke to advocate Abhinav Sekhri, a criminal lawyer based in Delhi, and is on retainer with Internet Freedom Foundation. He writes extensively on criminal law and runs a blog called Proof of Guilt. He recently wrote a paper on the bail regime in the country and how it is antithetical to the core principle in our criminal justice system- that an accused is innocent until proven guilty.
