Justice Iyer’s concern over Taslima’s condition

KOCHI: Justice V R Krishna Iyer has expressed concern over the ‘de facto solitary confinement’ of writer Taslima Nasreen.

Justice Iyer has urged the Prime Minister not to be browbeaten by the overbearing bigotry of the neighbouring country’s hostile minority.
