Jean Longuet

After the Tours Congress of 1920 had the Communists gain the majority, he supported the minority and joined the centrist Two-and-a-half International, the Vienna Union.[9] He also represented Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a political prisoner, who while being taken from Bombay to England to stand trial on the charges of sedition and abetment of murder, escaped from the ship, which was docked at Marseilles, and swam ashore until he was caught by a French gendarme.Pressure from the leftist and liberal press continued and forced both countries in October 1910 to take their case to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague.Madam Cama, a revolutionary Parsi woman from Bombay who was one of the founders of the Paris Indian Society, managed to get power of attorney, which facilitated the engagement of Longuet as Savarkar's representative in The Hague.However, as the arbitration was between France and Britain, the tribunal did not accept Longuet's memorandum on behalf of Savarkar, considering it out of the terms of reference.
