I just heard from Binayak Sen's younger brother Gautam. He teaches at an international school in Turkey.
And you know Binayak, right? He lives in Raipur jail.
Gautam is very concerned that the police in Chhattisgarh are about to trigger what he calls a "medical encounter".
Binayak, a trained doctor whom the state has accused of being a Maoist rebel, needs a coronary bypass. The Sens, Binayak included, trust only the surgeons at Vellore's respected Christian Medical College, of which Binayak is a graduate. It isn't surprising. Vellore alumni from India and abroad, among the most respected names in medicine, have fought to free Binayak for two years.
