NEW DELHI A top U.N. human rights official has deplored the death in custody of an 84-year-old Indian Christian priest who campaigned for the rights of tribal people and was denied bail after being detained under an anti-terrorism law. Father Stan Swamy was arrested last year on suspicion, which he denied, of ties to a banned radical leftist group that police accused of having instigated violence in Maharashtra state in 2018. His death will revive criticism of the increasing use of the anti-terrorism statute under nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi s government. Opponents of the law say it is used to hound people critical of the government.
