Shiv Pillay, MD, Speaks about His Friend Binayak Sen, MD at Harvard Square Vig
May 14, 2009. Shiv Pillay attended the vigil for Binayak Sen, MD in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Dr. Pillay attended medical school with Dr. Sen and spoke about Dr. Sen's integrity and drive to improve the lives of others.
The ailing pediatrician and human rights defender, Dr. Binayak Sen, has languished for two years in the central jail in Raipur, the capital of the state of Chhattisgarh in central India. The government accuses him of aiding and abetting terrorists a charge Dr. Sen has consistently denied and one that Amnesty International deems baseless and politically motivated.
