Kirity Roy is a noted Human Rights Activist in West Bengal, India. He is presently the Secretary of Banglar Manabadhikar Suraksha Mancha (MASUM), a Human Rights organisation mainly active against Police Torture, Extra-Judicial Killings, lacunae in Criminal Justice System and prevailing Capital Punishment. He is also the National Convenor of Program Against Custodial Torture and Impunity (PACTI), and South-Asian Network against Torture and Impunity (SANTI). His organisation and he himself has confidence in International Humanitarian Laws, Conventions and universal acceptance about the Human Rights treaties.
The published portion portrays him as a 'Maoist' and has 'active collusion with Bangladeshi illegal immigrants in India, who supports the Communist Party of India (Maoist), listed by India as a terrorist organization' is baseless and false. The data about his organisation MASUM that is a 'Maoist front' is also far from truth. It needs to be reiterated that this organisation has no such political affiliation with any political parties or political ideology. Hence, the whole para is suggested to be removed. However, it is true that he has been the board member of Amnesty International - India.
The next para which depicts 'Roy is well-known for organizing Kangaroo courts where he stands accused of manipulating facts and fabricates' is also malicious and utterly false. The term 'Kangaroo Court' should be replaced by 'People's Tribunal/Hearings'. It needs to be mentioned here that Kirity Roy and his organisation has complete faith in the democratic principles and Indian Judiciary, working in tandem with those. 117.194.97.204 (talk) 19:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.97.204 (talk) 18:56, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
