[The solidarity video/song by a Palestinian poet marks a global defiance toward repressive powers. Professor GN Saibaba’s case has drawn the attention and solidarity of people in India and around the world, especially from oppressed people who have faced the same political repression in other lands. In thousands of cases, the Indian government (and other states which serve feudal and capitalist-imperialist interests) has rounded up political opponents, has made usual false accusations that their political activism is subversive or seditious, and kept them imprisoned for lengthy times. In this was, the Indian state aims to break the spirit of political opponents and the people they serve, and to destroy their organizations and their supporters. With all this, the aim of such political repression is to impose fear and enforce compliance and submission — and to prevent new debates and movements against injustices and oppressions. We present this and other postings on the production of political imprisonment in India. — Frontlines ed.]
