[Reader-list] Arundhati Roy sent to prison today

[Jeebesh Bagchi]

Amplifying on Joy's comment i would like to add a note on torture under 
detension.

When you are under detention `freedom of speech` do not apply or if it 
applies i am not sure how. someone is told to give up information, is made to 
give up information and here freedom of speech should imply `freedom to 
remain silent`. 

Protection of silence is in this case an important mode of retaining ones 
sense of self, community and diginity. And people do endure immense hardship 
to retain silence.
