Respected Sir,
We members of the health care community are extremely concerned about the health of Dr. Binayak Sen who has been imprisoned in Raipur since May 2007. In March we learned that his health had worsened and that the doctor appointed by the court to examine him recommended that he be transferred to Vellore for an angiography and perhaps, if needed, an angioplasty or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft without further delay.
We believe that the court had ordered that Dr. Binayak receive treatment as per the doctor's recommendations but there are still hurdles being created by the local administration. As an undertrial Dr Sen is legally entitled to seek treatment at any facility of his choice within India. We urge you to use your good offices to see that this order is implemented immediately, as any delay may pose a risk to Dr. Binayak Sen's life.
We also urge that Dr. Binayak be granted the bail that has been denied to him for almost two years now. Dr. Binayak has a blemishless record of public service both as a medical doctor amongst the poor and as a human rights crusader, and it is our humble opinion that a great injustice has already been done to him. We urge you to review his case.

--
We have to start looking at the world through women's eyes' how are human rights, peace and development defined from the perspective of the lives of women? It's also important to look at the world from the perspective of the lives of diverse women, because there is not single women's view, any more than there is a single men's view."
