New Delhi: The gathering was hosted by the Democratic student Discussion forum at Delhi University, under the theme of “Criminalizing Political Beliefs: Black Laws & Political Prisoners ”.
We should at least realize that the issue of political prisoners raises questions of immense ethical and social significance in front of the nation. How can a democratic state imprison thousands of its citizens solely on the basis of their political beliefs and actions, or for just trying to live in dignity and peace? Recently we saw the conviction of cases in Dhaar Madhya Pardesh, Prof. G.N. Saibaba and four others by Gadchiroli court for their political beliefs .
Gautam Navlakha of People's Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) pointed out that the Saibaba judgement reveals how the UAPA is a weapon that allows the government to enter into a conspiracy against those who dissent or have political opinions against it. we try to understand what need to make this type of black laws by government. The banning of organisations, proscribing their literature, punishing the membership of banned organisations ensures that information about the war the state is waging against its own people in different parts of India – in Kashmir, Manipur or Chhattisgarh – is suppressed under the guise of penalising “terrorist acts” and “terrorist organisations”, he stated. Navlakha also showed how the vast swathe of offences named in the UAPA, and the modus operandi prescribed by it, fell afoul of fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
 Malem from CRPP said, we demand immediate release of all political prisoners, most of whom from the marginalized sections of the society like Religious Minorities, Dalits , Adivasis who are branded as ‘Maoists’, ‘terrorists’, ‘jihadis’, 'anti-nationals' etc. From journalist K.K. Shahina to student Jyoti Babasaheb, From activist Arun Ferreira to teacher Wahid Sheikh, the list of people who have been tortured under UAPA is a long one.
