If you got money and because of your company if thousands die then also our Indian laws do not give them life imprisonment.
If you are corrupt but you got money then also there is no punishment.
If you got money and even if weapons or bombs are found in home then also you will not get life imprisonment
But if you are poor and honest and do the simple mistake or if authorities do not like you then also you will get life imprisonment.
But Dr. Binayak Sen got knowledge , he got education , he got heart
But he was not billionaire
Is this reason Dr. Binayak Sen got life imprisonment ?

Short Biography of Dr.Binayak Sen
Updated Friday, April 22, 2011 -
I didn’t hear about Dr, Binayak sen on television channel, I came to know about him
Through blogs. Whatever I read about him, I thought every Indian should know about him.
Since May 15, 2007, Binayak Sen, a distinguished Indian pediatrician and a tireless human rights activist has been imprisoned in a Raipur jail in the state of Chhattisgarh, India.
He has been convicted of no crime but is being held under draconian state laws for his alleged association with the Naxalites—an outlawed Indian communist movement, deemed to be a threat to national security.
In May 2007, he was detained for allegedly violating the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act 2005 (CSPSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967
In December 2007; his bail petition was rejected by the Supreme Court of India.
Dr. Sen. is the winner of the tenth annual Jonathan Mann Award 2008 for Global Health and Human Rights, and the first winner from India and South Asia.
Dr Sen. was the recipient in 2004 of the Paul Harrison award for a lifetime of service to the rural poor.
Dr. Sen. was awarded the R.R. Keithan Gold Medal by The Indian Academy of Social Sciences (ISSA) on 31 December 2007
On 16 May 2007, Amnesty International issued a call to the Government of Chhattisgarh to "immediately release Dr. Sen. unless he is charged with a recognizable criminal offence and take urgent steps to end the harassment of the other human rights defenders in the state.
On 31 December 2007, the R.R. Keithan Gold Medal of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences was conferred on Dr. Binayak Sen. (in absentia) at a function chaired by Dr. B. N. Mungekar, Member, Planning Commission of India, and Chairperson of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences.
Dr Sen. is the National Vice-President of the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) and General Secretary of its Chhattisgarh unit.
I didn’t see anything or hear about Dr Binayak Sen, on Indian television media. I read that NDTV and BBC and radio Australia highlighted about Dr.Sen.
We hope Supreme Court of India will give the justice to Dr. Sen.
Let the honesty and social service and humanity win.
Free Dr.Binayak Sen.
