As the reports on the raid and rescue operation in red light area in Delhi were flooding news channels, PUDR along with Saheli took up the issue of the violation of the rights of sex workers, one of the most stigmatized communities in society.

This document was prepared by PUDR on the occasion of Dr. Ramanthan Memorial Meeting, dated 6th September 2008.

This is the report of a joint enquiry by some civil liberties and democratic rights (CL & DR) groups into the hunger strike of thirteen under trial prisoners in Nagpur Central Jail in April-May 2008  protesting victimization of political activists.

Every year PUDR organizes a Dr Ramantham memorial lecture on a topic of contemporary interest.

On 14 May 2007, Dr. Binayak Sen, a people’s doctor and a champion of civil liberties in Chhattisgarh, was arrested in Bilaspur.
