We are shocked & disappointed at the academic and admin apparatus of Jamia Milia University for cancelling the enrollment of @SafooraZargar
We demand that she be immediately reinstated with all required extensions & the release of all unfairly imprisoned after Delhi pogrom.

The trial in the Bhima Koregaon case is yet to begin and most of Fr. Stan’s co-accused, arrested on similar false charges, continue to languish in prison, many of whom suffer from ailments and are of an advanced age. Some of them have been in prison for more than 4 years now
