2. Stan Swamy on life support
Stan Swamy, the 84-year-old Jesuit priest and tribal activist in incarceration for over nine months under the charges of instigating violence and conspiring with the Maoists against the government, was put on ventilator support at the Holy Family Hospital in Mumbai on Sunday. “He remains in a critical condition,” his friend and colleague Father Joseph Xavier told Scroll.in.
Swamy, who suffers from Parkinson s disease, was arrested in October last year following the investigations into the violence-hit Bhima Koregaon anniversary in 2018. He is among several activists and scholars charged under the anti-terror law UAPA.
He is being treated at the hospital since May 30 following the directions of the Bombay High Court. He tested positive for Covid-19 on the same day.
