All are aware that the charges are extremely flimsy and fabricated and are surely politically motivated. In their response, Ms. Setalvad and the others provided the High Court with extensive, comprehensive and irrefutable evidence as to why they should be given anticipatory bail and the charges be dropped. When those who stand up for truth and justice and are human rights defenders are subject to such blatant harassment, intimidation and even arrest, one surely needs to wonder where the country is heading? We are convinced however that truth and justice will ultimately triumph even if one has to struggle very hard in such a vicious environment. *Fr.
