Dear All,
There will be a meeting in memory of human rights activist and lawyer, K. Balagopal. Balagopal, who was an inspiration to many in the civil liberties and human rights movement in India, died of a cardiac arrest on October 8th.
Balagopal was the founder member of Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Committee (APCLC) and
later of Human Rights Forum. ,He was also an advocate who fought
several cases to obtain justice for the poor without charge. Known for
his principled stands and sharp legal mind, he lived and worked with
utmost simplicity and commitment—a comrade and a friend whose loss is
irreparable. Balagopal was known across the country for his profound scholarship and, more than that, fearless activism in the arena of human rights covering a wide range of issues.
Please forward this email to others who might be interested in coming.
There will also be a screening of a short film put together by Deepa Dhanraj from interviews conducted with Balagopal over the years.
Venue: Ashirvad, no. 30, St Mark's Road Cross
Date: October 16th (Friday)
Time: 5pm to 7pm (tea will be served at 4:30 pm)
In solidarity,
Siddharth
