Students and activists recounted the brutal police attack on students of Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), which happened on December 15, 2019, at an event to mark two years since police entered the campus and used batons and tear-gas shells to disperse students protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Among those who recounted the horror were Radhika Chitkara of the People’s Union for Democratic Rights, Fawaz Shaheen of the Quill Foundation, and Akhtarista Ansari and Anugya Jha, who were students of JMI when the attacks took place. The discussion was chaired by author and activist Farah Naqvi, with author Arundhati Roy as the Guest of Honour.
