  2. #UAPA is one of the draconian acts in #India, which is used by the government to target political opponents and dissenting voices, including intellectuals, human rights activists and the like. This chart from #TheHindu today shows 67% of arrested people are still in jails without a trial. Also it shows the conviction rate is so low (3%).
    This is a tool used by government to muffle the voices of people questioning its policies.

  5. What does the death of a jailed Jesuit priest say about India's democracy under Modi?

    Stan Swamy had recently published a study of 3,000 people jailed for being members of banned Maoist groups. He found that 97% of them had no such affiliation and that many of their trials were held without lawyers, in a language they didn't understand. He'd filed a case on their behalf in the state court of Jharkhand, where he lived. All of this had embarrassed the government, he said.

  8. Time to repeal UAPA in a country boasting to be a democracy

    'A country boasting to be a democracy cannot have a vague and draconian law like UAPA, which is only used to frame activists, political opponents and critiques of the state,' writes Banjyotsna Lahiri.

  10. Wish for 2024: Freedom without fear

    There is a sense that the judiciary will not intercede on behalf of those arrayed against the powers that be; liberty can be truly secured only if a party isn’t brought to power with an overwhelming majority, writes Ajaz Ashraf.

  11. 2023: The Year Imprisoned Political Activist Umar Khalid Was Not Heard By The Supreme Court

    Umar Khalid's bail petition has been bouncing between different judges of the country’s highest court with no hearing of arguments despite the case being listed 10 times over seven months. In addition to delaying tactics by the State, adjournments and scheduling conflicts, violation of the rules on how cases are assigned to judges further delay the proceedings. Betwa Sharma writes.

  14. 1000 Days Without Trial Or Bail For Umar Khalid, Denied Bail Despite False Allegations, Fabrications & Inconsistencies

    PhD student Umar Khalid completes 1,000 days in jail without a trial, Article 14 revisited the fabrications, inconsistencies and conjectures that vitiate the Delhi riots conspiracy case but are still not enough for him to get bail because judges, as experts point out, interpret draconian laws in unyielding fashion. Police witnesses against the 35-year-old have been shown as unreliable, unproven allegations have been dropped, and the police have used partial truths and communally tainted arguments in his prosecution.
