Inde : Encore des audiences pour Kobad Ghandy
Kobad Ghandy, dirigeant historique du
mouvement maoïste en Inde, a du comparaître une nouvelle fois devant un
tribunal. Il doit répondre des discours "anti-nationaux" qu’il a
prononcé à l’Université Punjabi en 2010. Ghandy a été amené ici de la
prison Hyderabad la veille au soir et gardé dans un poste de police.
Comme le tribunal a décidé de poursuivre l’audience pour les deux
prochains jours, Ghandy a été envoyé à la prison centrale. Ghandy a
aussi été poursuivi pour avoir organisé des réunions dans les locaux de
l’Université Punjabi en avril et mai 2009 "pour promouvoir l’idéologie
maoïste", mais le PCI(Maoïste) n’était alors pas interdit (il l’a été le
22 juin 2009).
