Govind Pansare, a Communist leader and rationalist, was the author of a book we published at @LeftwordBooks - Who Was Shivaji (https://t.co/PvgHPSSa9t). Each year we remember his assassination, and ask for pressure to be brought on the authorities to bring justice to the case. https://t.co/G6TCwqGCy3

Nils Melzer

In the excellent book by @NilsMelzer - The Trial of #JulianAssange (@VersoBooks, 2022) - he reminded me of the 2012 ‘joke’ by @HillaryClinton - ‘Can’t we just drone this guy’, another unfunny crack about extra-judicial murder typical of the US government. https://t.co/YHgm4hip0p
