Citizens Against Hate team finds loopholes in NHRC’s probe into violence at Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University
Students of Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University have recounted chilling testimonies of facing the police as they set out to control protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act on December 15, 2019. Even the female students were not spared. “The male police officers were pressing our feet and hands with their boots,” says a student, quoted in the 124-report compiled by the Citizens Against Hate, a Delhi-based collective of individuals and groups.
Released recently, the report also finds substantive loopholes in the National Human Rights Commission’s investigation of the incidents in the two universities.
