The Kerala Union of Working Journalists on Thursday sought the Supreme Court’s intervention to shift journalist Siddique Kappan to a hospital in Delhi after he tested positive for Covid-19 in Mathura jail where he has been incarcerated since October.
KUWJ has been providing legal support to Kappan, the secretary of the union’s Delhi unit, who was arrested on October 5 on his way to Hathras in Uttar Pradesh to report the gang rape of a Dalit girl.
His lawyer Wills Mathew told
The Telegraph that the Supreme Court was informed of the latest development in a letter filed on Thursday. “We have requested an order for Kappan to be shifted to either All India Institute of Medical Sciences or Safdarjang Hospital in Delhi,” Mathew said.
