Natasha: Firstly, we would like to thank the Delhi HC for such a strong bail order and in the current scenario it is a very welcome judgment. It has made many strong observations about how the right to protest is being rampantly criminalised by the government. And while branding such protests as terrorist and anti-national activities has a long history, with many previous regimes indulging in it, it has become more intensified now. According to the government’s own data, from 2016-2019, invocation of UAPA has increased by 70 per cent, and most of the people on whom it is being invoked against are those have been raising their voices against various forms of oppression and those who belong to minority communities. So, in such a scenario, the Delhi HC judgment is very welcome.
