Shillong, Oct 15: The Friends of Jesuits congregation along with representatives of the Catholic Association, Shillong met with the Chief Minister Mr Conrad K Sangma today and handed a letter to appeal to him to speak to the Prime Minster and the Home Minister and to request them to release Fr. Stan Swami on humanitarian ground and also to squash all allegations against him.
As the Friends of Jesuits have been informed about the ill treatment of Fr. Stan by the jail authority they have also requested the Chief Minister to kindly intervene and personally speak to the jail authority to treat him with respect and not exposed him to a crowded barak with many people in quarantine as he might get infected by the virus.
The Chief Minister Mr Conrad K Sangma assured the delegation that he will certainly speak to both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on the matter as he has also been told about the issue by Bishop Theodore. He further said he would speak to the jail authority and ensured that Fr. Stan is given enough respect in treatment considering his age.
