While granting bail to student activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha in the same case, the Delhi High Court found the police had not made out a prima facie case of a terrorist act, and the use of “superfluous verbiage, hyperbole and stretched inferences”, did not make it one.  Furthermore, the division bench of Justice Mridul Siddharth and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani asked whether the crimes alleged threatened the defence of India, warranting invoking of UAPA, observing that in its “anxiety to suppress dissent,” the state was blurring the lines between the right to protest and terrorist activity. Narwal, Kalita, Tanha, and Safoora Zargar, have received bail from the Delhi High Court, and Ishrat Jahan from the lower court, others charged under the UAPA, Khalid, Gulfisha Fatima, Khalid Saifi, Shifa-ur-Rehman, Sharjeel Imam, and Meeran Haider, have had their bail rejected by the lower court.

We were lucky, we had access to good lawyers and our case had media attention. But most prisoners are from marginalised sections, many of them have little education and no access to lawyers. And officials have absolute power over their lives and they don't treat them as human beings.

Since we were cut off from the outside world and couldn't meet our families, we ended up building intense friendships in prison. We were in a ward where there were children, many of them were born in prison, and it was heartening to see many of them being brought up collectively. It's not that there were no conflicts and fights, but there was also a sense of being in it together. Women were always braiding each other's hair, we played ludo [a popular board game], we learnt so many different ways of braiding hair.

Kalita and Narwal are members of Pinjra Tod (Break the Cage), a feminist collective that campaigns for more freedom and rights for women in university hostels across India. Tanha is a student at New Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia, a university founded by Muslims during India’s freedom movement against the British. Last month, Natasha Narwal, 32, lost her father Mahavir Narwal, a retired professor and activist, to coronavirus. She was granted an interim bail of three weeks to perform her father’s last rites. The three activists were among dozens arrested for protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act.
