K. Balagopal: Obituary by the PUCL

People’s Union for Civil Liberties

9 October 2009

The PUCL is bereaved at the untimely demise of one of our finest civil liberties activists and advocates Shri K Balagopal of Human Rights Forum, AP. For the Human Rights movement the loss of Shri Balagopal at this juncture is very severe, especially when a war is being fought in this country between the Maoists and the various States and the Central Government. His boldness, understanding and interventions were needed most in the present turbulent times.

We share our grief with his wife, son and the large group of friends and admirers that he had.

K G Kannabiran, President
