CCS Website says

CCS Wrote to Indian authorities on State and Federal level to urge medical care and release from incarceration for Dr Sen, a pioneer in health care to poor and indigenous communities in Chhattisgarh state and a human rights activist, who has been incarcerated on charges of violating security laws that Amnesty International says are unfounded. Local authorities imprisoned him without filing charges for seven months and kept him in solitary confinement for three weeks. His trial, which has been ongoing for 17 months, has not met internationally recognized standards for a fair trial. Authorities have refused Dr. Sen’s request to be transferred to a hospital outside of Raipur because of recurrent chest pains. Dr Sen has been awarded the Jonathan Mann Award for Global Health and Human Rights for his services to poor and tribal communities and his commitment to civil liberties.”
