NEW DELHI â Father Stan Swamy, a jailed Jesuit priest and longtime Indian tribal rights activist, died July 5Â in Mumbai. He was 84.
His lawyer and doctor told the Bombay High Court that Swamy, who suffered from Parkinsonâs disease, died of cardiac arrest. The court was hearing a plea for bail on medical grounds after Swamy had been denied bail in March.
The activist had been moved to a private hospital from Tajola Central Prison in May after his health began rapidly deteriorating. He was admitted to the ICU, where he tested positive for COVID-19.
âStan worked to light the world and do away with injustice. The government may have succeeded in snuffing his life out, but his spirit will continue to inspire,â Father Jerome Stanislaus Dâsouza, the president of Jesuits in India, said in a statement.
