Last month, a trial court sentenced renowned physician and rights activist Dr. Binayak Sen to rigorous life imprisonment on the basis of an archaic colonial-era sedition law. Dr. Sen, along with two others, were found guilty of sedition and criminal conspiracy by a court in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh on allegations of helping a banned group of Maoists. On Sunday, Dr. Sen's supporters around the world will mark a global day of protest against his conviction. Democracy Now!'s Anjali Kamat traveled to Chhatisgarh and filed this report on what lies behind the targeting and conviction of Dr. Sen. http://www.democracynow.org
