Nobel appeal to free Binayak Sen
In just a little over a fortnight, Dr Binayak Sen will receive the prestigious Jonathan Mann award for his humanitarian work in the field of health. But he has been in jail for a year now and cannot travel to receive the award. After the Global Health Council, which awarded Sen, appealed to the government to allow him to go to Washington, it is now the turn of 22 Nobel laureates, who have written to the Indian government to permit him to make the trip.
