US Rep. Juan Vargas demands investigation into priests death in India
July 10, 2022 | California
U.S. Rep. Juan Vargas is demanding an independent investigation into the death of 84-year-old Indian Jesuit priest and human rights defender Fr. Stan Swamy nine months after his arrest without trial under the country’s anti-terrorism laws.
The Democratic congressman from California this week introduced a resolution to commemorate Swamy’s death in police custody last July.
“Father Stan was a staunch human rights defender who dedicated his life to giving a voice to the voiceless,” he said in a statement. “He advocated for the rights of the indigenous Adivasi people, trained young community leaders, and strived for justice for many mistreated communities in India.”..
