The court was also due to hear the Ranchi-based Jesuit and tribal rights defender’s plea challenging provisions of the anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), which many activists in India and abroad have termed a draconian law and under which bail is a rarity.
Stanislaus Lourduswamy was among 16 people arrested in the Elgaar Parishad case, an investigation into alleged Maoist links to an Ambedkarite event on December 31, 2017, that was followed by caste clashes the next day that claimed one life.
NEW DELHI: Elgar Parishad case accused Stan Swamy, against whom NIA filed a chargesheet the day after his arrest and never sought his police custody in view of his age and “sufficient evidences… already on record”, was kept in a separate cell of Taloja prison hospital with all necessary precautions and given two attendants as per advice of the jail’s medical officer, government sources claimed on Monday.
At the Taloja Central prison, where Swamy was lodged soon after his arrest on October 8, 2020, a source said he was provided with all facilities including wheelchair, walker, walking stick, straws, sipper, mug, commode chair, battery cells for his hearing machines, dental treatment, visiting psychiatrist and telemedicine.
