The #adivasis of #Chhattisgarh have faced unimaginable trauma at the hands of successive governments. CMO Chhattisgarh you were voted to power on the promise of undoing the historical injustice to adivasis and now adivasi leaders like #Hidme are being arrested ! #FreeHidmeNow

Hidme Markam, an adivasi human rights defender has critiqued the expanding presence of police & para-military in the State.  Why not focus on education, health care, forest rights, civil liberties CMO Chhattisgarh  Bhupesh Baghel? #FreeHidmeNow #ReleaseAllPoliticalPrisoners

Hidme was all the time in the open, attending meetings, interacting with authorities, raising issues of public importance in Bastar. Why was there a need to invoke some 'old cases' & drag her away suddenly from a women's rights meet ? Shame! #FreeHidmeNow newsclick.in/Chhattisgarh-C…

NHRC, NCW, NCST - all meant to 'protect human rights', but none of them are moved, as an adivasi woman human rights defender languishes in jail, for the 'crime' of defending human rights of thousands of other #adivasis, esp women! Why do we need these institutions ! #FreeHidmeNow
