The Life and Activism of G. N. Saibaba

G. N. Saibaba was a prominent human rights activist and former assistant professor whose work focused on advocating for marginalized communities, particularly during events like Operation Green Hunt in Chhattisgarh. He became well-known nationally after his arrest in 2014, where he was accused of having links with the Communist Party of India Maoist and engaged in conspiratorial activities against the Indian government. Despite being a wheelchair user with 90% disability from polio, the state presented evidence including possession of Maoist literature to justify his detention. His lengthy legal battles and eventual acquittals highlight systemic failings in how the judiciary addressed connections between political dissent and terrorism.
