Honoring the life and legacy of Father Stan, a prominent human rights activist who died while in custody of the Indian state on July 5, 2021, and encouraging India to pursue an independent investigation into his arrest, incarceration, and death.

This resolution would honor Father Stanislaus Lourduswamy and press for an independent investigation into his arrest, incarceration, and death. It highlights his decades of social justice work with Adivasi, Dalit, indigenous, fishing, agrarian, and labor communities, notes forensic concerns about alleged fabricated digital evidence tied to his detention, raises alarm about misuse of antiterror and colonial-era sedition laws, calls for ongoing support and monitoring of marginalized communities, and reaffirms freedom of expression under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
