We hosted a press conference and discussion in honor of the late Dilip Mahato, a brave activist. The discussion was organized by Dilip Mahato Academy in partnership with Nyaye Vatika, Janajyoti Law Firm, and the The Good Leadership at Open Co Hub. It brought together civil society members, senior advocates, law students, journalists and youths, creating a safe space for dialogue on legal, environmental, and social issues.
The discussion included a briefing on Dilip Mahato’s case, its legal aspects, and the recent filing at the Supreme Court, highlighting the challenges of pursuing justice and accountability. Participants shared their thoughts on the critical role of public engagement and collective action in addressing such issues.
A key takeaway from the discussion was the urgent need to strengthen justice advocacy, address impunity, and support those who defend our natural and legal rights.
