On July 5, Father Stan Swamy, an 84-year-old Jesuit and defender of the rights of the Adivasis, died in judicial custody after nine months of arrest on false charges of terrorism. He was the oldest political prisoner and was on remand under a draconian anti-terrorism law promoted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Swamy suffered from Parkinson's disease and had requested bail on medical grounds that the judges repeatedly rejected even after his health deteriorated, and India entered a fierce second wave of COVID-19. Stan died due to complications from COVID 19.
