The Indian Association for Women’s Studies (IAWS) has demanded immediate withdrawal of the First Information Report (FIR) lodged against Ilina Sen, professor and wife of human rights activist Binayak Sen, by the Nagpur Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) at Sewagram in district Wardha on January 24.
In an open letter to Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Thursday, the IAWS protested against the FIR and alleged that the Nagpur ATS had launched a “witch-hunt” against Prof. Sen.
