Every possible effort must be made to provide medical care and treatment to Stan Swamy, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) ordered the Maharashtra government. Stan Swamy is the 84-year-old tribal rights activist jailed under the stringent UAPA charges following his arrest last October. National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) also sought a report on his condition following his allegation of being denied medical facility in Navi Mumbai's Taloja jail where he is lodged. Swamy is a Jesuit priest who suffers from Parkinson's disease. Swamy along with his co-accused, has been charged by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as being members of frontal organisations working on behalf of the banned CPI (Maoists) & was named in the 2017 Elgar-Parishad case. Last month, the NIA opposed his bail plea citing Lack of "conclusive proof" of his medical ailments. The Elgar Parishad case is related to inflammatory speeches allegedly made at a Pune conclave on December 31, 2017, which, the police claims, triggered violence the next day near the Bhima-Koregaon war memorial on the city's outskirts.
