Good news today that HRD Journalist Siddique Kappan from #India has been granted bail. He was arrested in 2020 while on his way to investigate a gang rape and murder of a Dalit woman, and has been denied bail since. All trumped up charges against him must be dropped!

A young boy has been arrested from near Gorakhpur and brought to Noida for tweeting something really obscene about Hindu religion. His tweet was in response to Gyanvapi issue. His bail has been rejected. We will hopefully get him bail but my point is simply this. Don't do this
