We, the undersigned, are shocked at the action of the UP police under Yogi Adityanath in filing criminal charges against The Wire and against one of its founding editors, Siddharth Varadarajan. This attack on media freedom, especially during the Covid-19 crisis, endangers not just free speech, but the public’s right to information. The target of this action is a factual story on the Tablighi Jamaat and its exposure to Covid- 19. Towards the end, the impugned article merely pointed out that “Indian believers” more generally have been late to adopt precautions and avoid congregation, recalling UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s plans, as late as March 18, to proceed with a religious fair at Ayodhya and his flouting of the national lockdown and social distancing norms by taking part in a religious ceremony along with others on March 25. Two FIRs were filed under various sections of the law on April 1, one on a complaint by a resident of Ayodhya and the other on the basis of a complaint by the SHO of the Kotwali Nagar police station, Faizabad. A plain reading of the sections invoked in the FIRs (given below) makes it clear they cannot possibly apply to the article in question. The FIRs were followed up with a gross display of intimidation on April 10 when policemen arrived in a black SUV with no numberplates at Varadarajan’s residence in Delhi to issue a legal notice ordering him to appear in Ayodhya on April 14 at 10 am. That the UP government sent policemen driving across 700 kilometres during the national lockdown to issue this summons when the postal system is still operational speaks volumes for its priorities. The Wire, along with other independent media and journalists, has been courageous and consistent in continuing to present the facts. The UP police action is just the latest in a series of attempts by the ruling establishment, or persons close to them, to entangle The Wire and its editors in legal cases in an effort to shut them down. The police action against The Wire also comes against the backdrop of the demonization of Muslims in a section of the media as being responsible for the spread of the novel coronavirus in India. On April 6, the WHO felt the need to reiterate the principle that media should avoid religious or other profiling of COVID-19 cases. We, the undersigned, 1. 1. Call upon the Government of Uttar Pradesh to withdraw the FIR against Siddharth Varadarajan and The Wire, and drop all criminal proceedings. 2. We urge the Government of India and all state governments not to use the pandemic as a cover to trample upon media freedom. A medical emergency should not serve as the pretext for the imposition of a de facto political emergency. 3. We call upon the Indian media to not communalise the pandemic..

    16 February 2016 Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar Vice Chancellor

    16 February 2016 Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar Vice Chancellor Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110 067, India Dear Prof. Kumar, We are writing, as a group of academics, to express our deep disappointment with your actions in the event leading up to the arrest of several students last week. We understand that last Tuesday, a student group organized a rally to commemorate the death anniversary of Afzal Guru. The police alleges that some of the students voiced controversial opinions. The police then proceeded to arrest the president of the JNU Students Union, Kanhaiya Kumar, and charged him with sedition. This has been followed by a number of further arrests. What is most disturbing is that the JNU administration appears to have defended and aided these repressive actions by the police, rather than defending the students who were involved in a non-violent activity. The arrest of the president of the JNUSU is especially troublesome since he was not even an organizer of the rally but merely present to express his solidarity. However, even as far the organizers and the speakers at the event are concerned, we hope that you recognize that expressing controversial views in a peaceful forum cannot be equated with sedition. For example, many people believe that Afzal Guru was let down by a lack of appropriate legal representation in his trial, and that his execution was therefore a grave miscarriage of justice. One may agree or disagree with this viewpoint — and, indeed, signatories to this letter hold different positions — but we are unanimous that students should have the right to freely discuss this issue.

    Arrested and Charged in Coordinated Raids Across India

    31 August 2018 India: Five human rights defenders arrested and charged in coordinated raids across India On 28 August 2018, five human rights defenders were arrested and several others’ residences, including Father Stan Swamy’s, were raided in a coordinated crackdown by Pune police in different parts of India. Sudha Bhadwaj, Vernon Gonsalves, Varavara Rao, Gautam Navlakha and Arun Ferreira were all arrested in different cities under a host of charges, including terrorism-related charges. Sudha Bhardwaj is a human rights lawyer, with a focus on protecting the rights of adivasi (indigenous) people in the state of Chattisgarh. She has acted as legal representation in several cases of extrajudicial executions of adivasis and has represented adivasis and activists before the National Human Rights Commission of India.

    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford Media Propaganda and the Kashmir Dis- pute: A Case Study of the Kashmir Floods by Wasim Khalid Michaelmas and Hilary Terms 2015 - 2016 Sponsor: Thomson Reuters Foundation 1 Acknowledgements Sometimes ideas strike journalists to their very core. They want to dig deeper into the issues to understand them. However, due to the paucity of time and space, most of the time scribes fail to do so. I wanted to go deeper into the issue of media coverage of the 2014 Kashmir floods, examining it as part of a broader political dispute. Neither time or space, nor the proper funds were available to carry out the study. I am immensely thankful to the Reuters Institute for the Study Journalism (RISJ) for accepting the research proposal and thereby giving me an opportunity to look into the depths of the sub- ject. I am also thankful to the Thomson Reuters Foundation for funding my fellowship. The study would not have been possible without the help of my supervisor, Caroline Lees.

I am thankful to Dr James Painter for patiently listening to my queries and for his suggestions concerning the research topic. He has been always caring and his wit and guidance have been of immense help while carrying out the study. In fact, it was during my first meeting with Dr.
