*U.S. ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE RAIPUR SATYAGRAHA FOR DR. BINAYAK SEN*

It is now 22 months since Dr Binayak
Sen<http://binayaksen.net/wp-content/uploads/MSF-Binayak-Booklet.pdf>,
the well-known public health and human rights activist was imprisoned by the
Chhattisgarh government on false charges of abetting activities of an
outlawed organization. International and national groups and individuals,
including *Twenty Two Nobel Laureates,* have consistently demanded the
release of Dr. Binayak Sen.

*On Monday, March 16**th*, the *Raipur
Satyagraha*<http://raipursatyagraha.wordpress.com/>,
a mass civil disobedience movement, that follows the tradition of *Mahatma
Gandhi *and *Martin Luther King Jr.,*was successfully launched to demand the
immediate release of Dr. Binayak Sen. *Every Monday*, batches of 50-100
people will court arrest in front of the Raipur Jail, Chhatisgarh where Dr.
Sen is incarcerated.

*Groups in the United States are organizing a solidarity action in front the
Indian Consulates at New York City, San Francisco Consulates and the DC
Embassy on MARCH 27, Friday.*
