Umar Khalid

Umar Khalid is an Indian student activist. He is currently imprisoned in India in connection with the Delhi riots case. He has been in jail for over five years without a trial. News articles highlight his case as an example of the institutional persecution of Muslims under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While recent news focuses on hunger strikes by Palestine Action protesters in the UK, drawing attention to related issues of political imprisonment and government contracts with Israeli arms companies, the article about Umar Khalid underscores concerns about due process and potential political motivations behind his continued detention in India. His case remains relevant as a symbol of alleged human rights issues and the treatment of political dissent in India.
