No idea how to contact these bods or who they write for. Doc Sen seems honest. The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Imphal East has already stated that he believes the blanket ban on visitors to Sharmila issued by the Home Secretarait 2005 i think is supra vires and a challenge in the Guwahati High Court or if necessary the Supreme Court of India would succeed. However each lawyer we have tried has backed out of the action. if these bods are serious get me a laywer who is for hire and isn’t scared of the problems and let’s do this. If they just like issuing resolutions then what can I tell you. This is not my being racist or a sex spy. I shall continue trying to hire a laywer from Goa.
