PUCL condemns arrest of Sen

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Chhattisgarh unit of the People's Union for Civil Liberties has strongly condemned the police action in detaining its general secretary Binayak Sen under the provisions of the "highly controversial'' Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act, 2005 and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, PUCL (Chhattisgarh unit) president Rajendra K. Sail has said that the outfit had apprehended such a repressive action against the human rights and social activists working for the civil liberties in Chhattisgarh because the State police officials and Ministers had threatened its members.

The PUCL has demanded that the search on Dr. Sen's premises be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law. It would be in the larger interest of the law if the same were done in the presence and participation of independent witnesses and with video-recording.
