Campaign Against State Repression (CASR) in solidarity with comrade Pramod Mishra jailed in miserable conditions in Bihar

Campaign Against State Repression (CASR)
The Campaign Against State Repression (CASR) has expressed its full solidarity with political prisoner Comrade Pramod Mishra. This 74-year-old revolutionary activist is currently imprisoned in the Beur Central district of Bihar, where he has been detained for nearly three years. Rashtra Pramod Mishra has been identified as a member of the  CPI (Maoist) Central Committee and the Politburo. He began starving on January 26 in protest against the inhumane and squalid living conditions in the Beur district. His demands are simple and legal: adequate meals and breakfast, access to daily necessities, and telephone facilities to communicate regularly with family members and lawyers. At the age of 74, being captured in this situation means a slowing of the violence associated with his detention. The failure to provide adequate nutrition, basic facilities, and communication opportunities reveals the punitive and vengeful nature of the administration, particularly towards political prisoners and those who protest. Districts across India are increasingly becoming the focus of the class and political repression campaign. Prisoners associated with the revolutionary movement, indigenous people, laborers, and farmers are routinely discriminated against. While the government claims to have improved living conditions in some districts, the reality is that all districts suffer from excessive prison overcrowding, inadequate food, ill-treatment, and a lack of contact with family. This issue is not limited to isolated incidents but is widespread throughout the country. Father Stan Husband and Professor G. Ann. The death of Saibaba demonstrates how medical deprivation, inhumane long-term detention, and neglect lead to loss of life. Both were elderly, critically ill, and repeatedly denied timely access to medical or basic facilities. This death is not an accident, but the result of an inhumane system that treats political prisoners as "valuable."
Pramod Mishra's condition is no exception; it is a widespread phenomenon among political captives, prisoners, and protesters waiting to be detained against state exploitation and violence. The persistent neglect of elderly and sick detainees reveals the anti-public attitude of the current system.
CASR Demands:

1. Immediate provision of adequate and essential nutritious food for all prisoners.

2. Ensuring telephone facilities for regular communication with family and lawyers.

3. Independent and transparent medical observation, given Pramod Mishra's age and ongoing hunger.

We urge democratic forces, civil rights agencies, and mass movements to raise their voices against the repressive actions of the prisons and to intervene immediately to prevent irreparable harm.
Repression cannot extinguish prevention.
The struggle for dignity and justice continues. Solidarity said:
