Stan Swamy, the Jesuit who died in Modi prisons. “He defended the last”

It takes a severe form of incurable cruelty to let an 84-year-old Jesuit priest with Parkinson’s die in prison who was no longer able to eat, drink or wash himself. It takes a certain level of stubborn stupidity to mistreat a sick person, the oldest investigated for terrorism in India, who was infected with Covid-19 in prison and died after eight months of imprisonment, with no real proof of guilt.
