The Jesuit Provincial of Canada, Fr Erik Oland, has sent a letter expressing deep concern about the incarceration of Fr Stan Swamy SJ, an 83 year-old Jesuit in India, to the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs. A copy was also sent to the Prime Minister of Canada.
The Provincial’s concern centres on the circumstances surrounding Fr Stan’s arrest, unsubstantiated claims of his links to Maoist forces and the health risks posed by incarceration during a global pandemic.
