The Whole Story: Father Stan Swamy - 06 July, 2021

Jesuit priest and tribal rights activist Stan Swamy passed away on Monday afternoon, two days after he was placed on ventilator support in Mumbai’s Holy Family Hospital.
Incidentally, the Bombay High Court was urgently hearing his bail petition due to his deteriorating health when it was announced that he passed away at 1:30pm.
In Oct 2020, Stan Swamy was accused and arrested in the Elgar Parishad case by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) from his residence in Ranchi. Other accused include Varavara Rao and Sudha Bharadwaj

So Mr. Bala if Gandhi and others were alive today, they too would have been in jail for the same reason why Fr. Stan and others are now. Which is better to be a sympathizer of adivasis not only educating them about the cause of poverty but also exposing the villains behind this poverty and their sufferings? OR Criminals in our Parliament on BAIL rather than BEHIND BARS for horrible crimes against humanity and those who are now enjoying in FOREIGN BARS. If GOI is not a tyrant, then why these Elderlies consisting of lawyers, intelectuals are not subjected to speedy trials? The very fact that conviction is not even 2.5 percent shows that the law is misused to SILENCE DISSENT, which according to the Apex Court "DISSENT IS THE SAFETY VALVE " for the proper functioning of our democratic institutions.

Wow Faye, in 10 minutes beautifully expressed the whole story 👏 😍

[@johndsouza8696]

Next time you go to vote make sure to reject the party who's action caused this pain and death to Fr. Stan to honour his death.

[@shkh3800]

Thank you Faye D'Souza and team. Fr Stan would have appreciated the quiet dignity with which you have shared his journey. The catch in your voice when you said "Fr Stan is finally free", God bless you for that.

Thank you Faye. Please cover Bhima Koregaon and the falsehood of it in detail now. There are many still who can use coverage by press before they perish. General public still needs to be educated on the truth of it. In AMAs you have been requested earlier and said you would, but then you didnt. (Sorry if you did and I missed it)

[@piggybonny]

RIP .Dear Fr. Stan Swamy. You are in god's kingdom where you will be at his peace in god's house.

Difficult to keep hearing and reading it without tearing up

[@sydwalter1618]

Stan Swamy died resisting the Neo Nazies.He will remain alive in the hearts of those who fight for the poor and dispossessed. I salute Faye for presenting the facts without expressing an opinion.

[@atjude]

Almighty God is watching over this injustice and will act on it at the right time where no one can escape from his judgement.

[@vasanthajayakumar1830]

I'm sure he's very happy with God. He has lead an exemplary life on earth and will be suitably reward by God.

[@rajanijani7223]

Naman to father Stan, an activist who was the voice of the marginalized who couldn't defend or voice the injustice and tribulations for themselves. Haam sharminda hain at our helplessness to protect our senior activist against immoral Gov't personnels and the Judiciary.

[@fatimavaz6974]

Thanks for the heartfelt story of Fr. Stan Swamy. Who fought for justice for the poor, the downtrodden & marginalized.against all the injustice done to him. Who are these mortal men they are like grass today gone tomorrow...but God's power will empower..RIP Fr.Stan..

[@anchoreddeep]

Faye im sad you never covered him specifically all this time, only now after his death... why so late? He needed more coverage while he was alive. Please reply. :(

[@birchedenwoods]

Where is human right commission now...the GOI n NIA handlers shame u brought us all.

[@BhaktiHiShaktee]

Rest in Peace dearest Father. Stan Swamy!

[@olivepinto6668]

Thank you Faye. My heart and my soul cries that justice was denied and fabricated to this level on a man who has given his entire life for the service of the people.

[@birdiechidambaran5132]

It is dangerous to live in India if you opt to dedicate your "entire life for the service of the people."

[@lauraathaide1268]

A True Soldier of God, who fought a brave battle for the poor ,is now at rest with the Lord.🙏

[@kmupeter7355]

MAY THE SOUL OF REV. FR. STAN SWAMY, BECOME A MARTYR DUE TO THE POLICY OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT, REST IN PEACE. MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL TO BECOME A SAINT 👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@prasadkurapati8357]

You have given the the complete picture in a nutshell. It's very heartening to listen to your last words as well as his words. It means still there are some people who can fight for justice. Great. Thank you for bringing this

we are living in a place where hatred is normalized and truth is being buried..

“Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord”. (Romans 12:19)

[@bevmatts]

Excellent summarization!

[@luismoniz2347]

Thanks Faye, for an excellent summary about Fr. Stan Swamy, Hoping that many of us, me included, stop being silent spectators. One caged bird can no longer sing but now millions of us need to join the chorus so that whoever is promoting inhumanity and injustice is removed from power in a legal and democratic process

[@fatherkumarraja]

Moved to tears by the whole story. Well presented! What is happening to our country?

[@hiteshpunjabi9413]

RIP. So sad it is 🥺🥺

[@wilfreddsouza6642]

Justice failed at fr.stan's , RIP fr. Stan🌼🙏

[@ibrahimabdullah6886]

Thank you Faye, for the tribute in whatever little way possible, for the valiant hero of our time, albeit an un-sung hero he was. What a courageous fighter he was! Till last breath he stood up for truth and justice, stood up for the poor and the marginalized. He paid the price for being what he was. He lived a hero and died a hero. RIP Father Stan. Your martyrdom will not go in vain

[@njacobkrocha2418]

First time watching something on KZbin and in tears. Fr Stan, rest in peace. May all who stand with Fr Stan be blessed abundantly.
