more on the STF area trip

just found this article, which explains a lot. i may have met many of
the people described here (impossible to keep names straight). I
definitely met Thangamma (above), mentioned towards the end (repeatedly raped
by senior police officer for 3.5 yrs). We spent a lot of time smiling
at each other and holding hands.

and here's the BBC's obit for Veerappan.

more pics coming soon...
