An international alliance of civil rights groups has blamed the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the death of an 84-year-old Jesuit social activist who died under detention.
Human rights defender Father Stan Swamy’s death on July 5 while awaiting trial has deeply shocked and outraged global civil society alliance CIVICUS.
The priest’s death “is a result of the persecution he has faced by the Modi government after revealing abuses by the state,” the group said in a press state-ment.
Father Swamy worked among tribal groups and other minorities of eastern India’s Jharkhand state for over four decades, creating awareness among communities about their tribal and civil rights.
