How many journalists does it take to secure freedom for one of their own? 765.

Once upon a time, the jailed writer, poet and activist Varavara Rao had an occasional column in The Indian Express on Sundays.

Now, as he languishes in jail, 765 Telugu journalists petition the Chief Justice of India and the Maharashtra chief minister urging for the release of the 81-year-old.

And Prof G.N. Saibaba.
