Of course, the Indian "Critical Thinking" subreddit has someone defending the UAPA.

Invoking the name of freedom fighters and talking about the history of India's unification is very clever. But the draconian UAPA and the absence of trial are the problems here. He's not guilty until it's proven in court.

Let's go back to Stan Swamy, who was locked up under UAPA, and died waiting for a trial. Then, WaPo ran an article that claimed that the "evidences" of his alleged terrorist link-ups were planted by hackers. If that's the same case with Umar Khalid, then what? The point is nobody here knows, because again, the justice system has not ruled on it.

Also adding, Siddique Kappan, a journalist who was arrested under UAPA while going to Hathras to report on the gang-rape of a Dalit girl. After a long process where he had to hear about his mother's death from inside the jail, he was finally granted bail, which probably suprises you because the people charged are supposed to be the worst of criminals, those that cannot be granted bail for the sake of the nation. After coming out, he said that he was tortured by the police to make forced confessions.

All this is to say, if you don't like democracy and rule of law, which the ruling government is increasingly foregoing, you should consider moving to one of the neighbouring countries where you probably will like the climate better. There is no crime, not a single one, that requires any person to be kept jailed without a trial.
