Detention of Activist

Description
-
The Economic and Political Weekly discusses the detention of R. R. Sivalingam, a human rights activist and Sri Lankan citizen of Indian origin, who has been held indefinitely under the Foreigners Act in Tamil Nadu since August 1993. His detention is seen as a retaliation for his advocacy for the rights of repatriated Tamils and other marginalized groups. Despite his longstanding residence in India and contributions to human rights, his citizenship application has been stalled, raising concerns about his health and well-being in solitary confinement. The authors urge readers to protest against his detention and demand his release.
