On the 8th of June 2012 a court in Allahabad, pronounced life imprisonment to 36 year old Seema Azad,
writer and editor of Dastak (a monthly magazine) and the Organising Secretary of the PUCL for alleged Maoist support (a la Binayak Sen). A critique on the PUCL website.
Here is a old media report on the case.
From The Hoot:
"The duo [she and her husband] were arrested shortly after Seema wrote against Ganga Expressway Plan, a project that would have displaced many farmers and also highlighted arbitrary arrests of Muslim youth by the Special Task Force in Azamgarh."
