> I mean, not so long ago India persecuted an activist who helped Greta Thunberg to the extent of arresting and accusing her of sedition just because the
girl helped edit an online document that Greta Thunberg promoted.
It wasn't just another document; it was linked with the planning and execution of violence that happened on 26 January Republic day in the capital (New Delhi) wherein the national symbols like Red Fort were invaded and damaged. Obviously police acted on the toolkit document and if not enough evidence were found, she'll be out of the trouble. btw, while working on the document her WhatsApp messages with Gretta also showed that she knew that she could get into trouble.
>> Disha (9:35 pm): Ok can you not tweet the toolkit at all..can we just not say anything at all for a while? I am gonna talk to lawyers. I am sorry but our names are on it and we can literally get UAPA against us.
> There was no "trying". They found evidence that emails with malware were targeted at the accused activists, and they found evidence that said malware was used to plant evidence.
Whatever they've found needs to be proven in court before it can be considered as evidence. Until then, as per the rule of law, it's just an opinion of the defendant.

No, not really. That's a very convenient story but an outright fabrication. Greta Thunber's document clearly did not laid out any plot. Greta's doc provide suggestions on how to protest the upcoming agriculture reform law, and the persecuted activist was jailed for editing two lines.
Moreover, the activist was arrested and accused of "wage economic, social, cultural and regional war against India", which quite clearly screams of the doingd of a fascist regime dedicated to oppress their citizens if they propose any form of criticism of the ruling regime.

The lack of self-awareness and desperation in your comment is very telling. I mean, of course she was concerned she could be persecuted: India's ruling regime is so oppressive that goes to the extent of charging people who edit two lines of a doc with sedition and waging war on India.

It's a fact that the document had a plan for 26 January and it's also a fact that violence at a large scale took place that day in the capital. It's a sufficient ground for the police to pursue the people involved to investigate the links between both.
> The lack of self-awareness and desperation in your comment is very telling.
Injecting ad hominem in your arguments weakens your position. It demonstrates that the self-awareness has taken over by insecure ego, a sign of the conditioned mind.

This comments certainly seem to come from a parallel reality because in the reality that I live, I come across media entities, people, leaders and even students, openly criticizing the so called current fascist regime, almost on a daily basis, even some times going to the length of threatening to harm the PM physically or break the nation.
I haven't come across even a single incident where people just got into jail for criticizing the current government.
Obviously when some violence happens and you're suspected to have some links, police will arrest you with charges it seems fit, but the law will take its own course and proceedings in the court shall decide eventually.
IN the fascist regime, judiciary won't have the freedom to let go the people the regime doesn't like; even in communist countries (good example is China), there's no independence of judiciary.
On the other hand, Indian judiciary takes pride in asserting its superiority wherever it can (just stating as a fact to demonstrate the independence of judiciary). I have only seen increased judicial activism during the current regime and certainly not decreasing of it.
