10 years ago today, a Muslim student named Najeeb Ahmed was made to disappear forcefully from JNU, after an assault on him by ABVP members in his own hostel on the previous night. @UmarKhalidJNU remained a consistent part of the movement for justice for Najeeb over the years.

Via @kunalkamra88 You’ve heard a lot about Umar Khalid through the media. But amid the media witch-hunt against him, there has been very little space for him to speak for himself. So I want to tell you a little about my friend Umar, in his own words, as shared with his loved ones

Asking for accountability from your government is not a criminal act. In fact, it is the most patriotic act you can do for the betterment of the people of your country. Dissent is not a crime.

Thank you @shasniofficial for this thoughtful video. One of the best ways to support @UmarKhalidJNU is to read his work. Pick up Fractured Communities: Adivasi Histories and the Politics of Power. Please buy an original copy from Amazon or from trusted bookstores.

Scenes from protests in New Delhi. You can cage the bird, but you cannot cage the song. People continue to remember @UmarKhalidJNU and @_imaams , speak their names and carry their words into the streets. Six years of incarceration cannot erase a person from public memory.

Via Madhumitalks In India, speaking out earned @UmarKhalidJNU indefinite pre-trial detention under UAPA. On the world stage, it just earned him a human rights award. You decide which verdict says more about the system.
