Protesters gathered outside India House, the Indian High Commission in London UK, to demand the release of Dr Binayak Sen, a Doctor and Human Rights Defender, who was arrested in the State of Chhattisgarh, on spurious charges of Maoist links and has been held without bail for a year.
Dr Sen has spent his working life providing health and defending the rights of those who are unable to fend for themselves, namely the majority Tribal population in Central India.
The Global Health Council has awarded him the Jonathan Mann award for 2008, for his work in the field of Health and Human Rights among the most diadvantaged of our Society.
22 distinguished Nobel Laureates have, in an unprecedented act, written to the Central Government of India and the State Government of Chhattisgarh requesting Dr Sen’s release on bail so that he may attend the award ceremony in Washington on the 29th of May 2008.

Dr Binayak Sen seems to have caught the imagination of the mainstream media in India at last. But one has to remember that he has spent a year in a Chhattisgarh jail.
An international award by the Global Heath Council named after Jonathan Mann to Dr Sen for his untiring work in the field of people’s health and human rights followed by a strong appeal by 22 Nobel Laureates demanding his release seems to have convinced the media that there is something extraordinary about Dr Sen’s arrest and that the issue needs to be probed.
