The brutal rape and murder in Hathras and the forced cremation of the victim’s body sparked popular outrage across the country, not by Atikur Rahman and others arrested with him. Release the innocents immediately. #UPConspiracyInHathras
A 19-year-old Dalit woman was gang-raped and murdered by her upper-caste neighbours in Uttar Pradesh. UP Police is punishing some innocent students for trying to visit the family. Free the innocents. #UPConspiracyInHathras#ReleaseAllPoliticalPrisoners
Siddique Kappan, an Indian journalist, behind bars since two years for trying to do his duty. Why is justice becoming so rare and difficult in our country? #UPConspiracyInHathras#ReleaseAllPoliticalPrisoners
There’s nothing free or independent about our lives anymore. But I have hope in our judiciary and we will continue to fight, says Raihanath, Siddique Kappan’s wife. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
The affidavit filed by the UP Police in the Supreme Court opposing the bail plea filed by journalist Siddique Kappan is absurd and an attempt to mislead the court. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
Siddique Kappan was asked by the UP STF whether he eats beef. Actually, he does. But he had to say that he doesn’t because they were thrashing him over everything associated with being a Muslim. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
On being quizzed by the UP Police, when Kappan said he studied at Jamia, they had beaten him. Innocents are getting tortured in UP Jails simply because they are Muslims. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
Innocents are getting tortured in UP Jails simply because they are Muslims. Kappan was asked by the UP Police what languages he knew. When he said he speaks Arabic, he was beaten. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
Siddique Kappan did not commit any crime. He and others arrested with him were sacrificial lambs for UP Government to divert Hathras case. Let’s hope the apex court will put an end to the injustice. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
Kappan was targeted because he spopke truths that are inconvenient for BJP RSS. That is not a crime. Enemies of truth continues to obstruct his justice. Free Siddique Kappan. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
What happened to Siddique Kappan and many others like him speaks volumes about the state of press freedom in India. It’s a serious matter of concern. Unless we speak now it will only get worse. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
The fact that a innocent journalist is in jail while right-wing lapdog media persons are free to incite hatred and false information speaks the reality of UP Police claims against Kappan. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
The incarceration of Kappan is one of the worst attack on Press Freedom. People of the country should not allow this injustice to continue. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
When a journalist has spend years in jail just for doing his duty, we now the state of press freedom in our country. Time to voice for change. Release Siddique Kappan. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
Siddique Kappan did not rape and murder. He simply tried to report the incident, and he is in prison for that for two years. This injustice must end. Release Kappan immediately. #ReleaseSiddiqueKappan
