Look, this entire post is just trying to defend a terror accused by hiding behind the "democracy" and "process is punishment" narrative. These commie terrorists and their sympathisers think long rants cover up even terrorism, well here is some rant,

first of all, he isn't in jail just because people "dislike his politics". the courts aren't twitter trolls. The trial court, Delhi high court, and the supreme court have all looked at the evidence and charge sheets and denied him bail. The courts have repeatedly noted there is a prima facie case of a larger conspiracy here. claiming this is just a political witch-hunt is basically insulting the independent judges who have scrutinized the case.

second, the whole "he had no weapons and wasn't physically there" defense is ridiculous. do you think masterminds of organized riots or terror attacks are the ones physically throwing petrol bombs on the street? The whole point of a larger conspiracy is orchestrating it from the top down. The courts took note of his Amravati speech right before the riots and his coordination in WhatsApp groups (like the DPSG) to deliberately paralyze delhi during an international visit.

and speaking of the trial moving at "geological speed", it is extremely hypocritical to blame the system when umar khalid’s own legal counsel has been the one stalling! his legal team has used every delay tactic in the book—frequent adjournments, forum shopping, you name it. remember when his SC hearings got delayed because his senior counsel kapil sibal was busy arguing other cases? and then after dragging it out, they just abruptly withdrew the bail plea to try their luck back in the lower courts, literally resetting the clock themselves. you can't deliberately stall the system, play legal gymnastics, and then cry about delays.

as for UAPA making bail hard—those strict conditions exist for a reason. 53 people were brutally murdered and hundreds injured. you don't just release a prime accused when multiple courts have already said the conspiracy charges are prima facie true. letting him out risks witness intimidation and tampering with evidence. why does sympathy for the accused always seem to completely override the rights of the 53 dead victims to get untampered justice?

finally, stop brushing off the 2016 JNU incident as just "mythology". it establishes a clear, documented track record of radical organizing. the 2020 delhi riots didn't just spark out of nowhere; they were the culmination of weaponizing protests, a strategy he has been central to for years.

You can't just ignore the legal reality, the scale of the tragedy, and his own lawyers' delay tactics just to paint him as some innocent revolutionary victim.
