  • Introduction

    Who is Soni Sori?

    Who is Soni Sori?
  • Soni Sori is a school teacher-turned-tribal activist from the Maoist-hit district of Dantewada in Chhattisgarh.

    She is an outspoken critic of police violence towards Chhattisgarh's tribesmen.

    In 2011, the Delhi Police arrested her on the charges of being a Maoist courier.

    The already contentious arrest grew more disturbing after the police allegedly sexually harassed and tortured her while she was in their custody.
