Swamy, who was jailed for nine months without trial under Indian anti-terror law, died in a Mumbai hospital on Monday.
The United Nations says it is deeply disturbed by the death in pre-trial detention of Father Stan Swamy, an 84-year-old Indian rights activist and Jesuit priest. Swamy, who was jailed for nine months without trial under Indian anti-terror law, died in a hospital in Mumbai on Monday ahead of a bail hearing. The priest, who campaigned for marginalised tribal communities, was arrested last year on suspicion of ties to a banned radical left-wing group that police accused of instigating violence in Maharashtra state in 2018.
