    Scholar in prison

    Jenny Rowena, the wife of jailed Delhi University professor Hany Babu, laments the situation of prisons in India and accuses that, as a society, we failed to have a social ethos that never undermines prisoners’ rights. While talking to Maktoob‘s Shaheen Abdulla, she emphasized that medical negligence in prisons has led to serious conditions for Babu, who is booked under UAPA in the Elgar Parishad Bhima Koregaon case. Independent forensic reports found that Babu’s laptop was hacked to plant incriminating evidence.

    A besieged funeral

    Syed Ali Shah Geelani wanted himself buried at Mazar E Shuhada — Martyrs’ graveyard. But even after his soul departed, he remained a ‘security threat’ to New Delhi. Geelani’s ‘will’ was abrogated as were the rights of Kashmir on that night. The demise of Kashmir’s tallest separatist leader, SAS Geelani, on the night of 01 September immediately became a political crisis. India raced to bury him in the dead of the night to stifle anti-India protest while Pakistan announced ‘official mourning’. But amidst the chaos, Naseem Geelani, son of SAS Geelani, struggled to keep it together. Listen to Naseem Geelani on Maktoob podcast
