[2019 Jamia Violence case]

#DelhiHighCourt says that though in a democracy, the dissent or fundamental right of freedom of expression cannot be suppressed but, there is no place of violent action to register one’s resistance to a Government policy either.

#JamiaViolence
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma made the observation while overturning the trial court's judgement discharging Sharjeel Imam, Safoora Zargar and nine others from the case.
The court says that the protest organised by the Jamia students of which Imam, Zargar and others were part of was not peaceful resistance but a violent protest which ultimately turned into riots.

“Protest by violent means can never be part of democracy. State can restrict the right to #protest by certain ways without violating fundamental rights of individuals,” #DelhiHighCourt while framing charges against #SharjeelImam, others in 2019 #JamiaViolence case.
“The video analysis will also reveal that the acts of resistance being presented as normal by the present respondents were not peaceful resistance but violent protest which had turned into riots,” Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma observed in the order running into 90 pages.

The #JamiaViolence is a result of journalists like Arnab and his @republic TV

Hate speech was prosecuted as a war crime in the tribunal for Rwanda.The judgment declared that the way the journalists had acted constituted “journalism as genocide”.

thepolisproject.com/journalism-as-…
Between 2014 — 2016 I analyzed witness testimonies from the Nuremberg, Yugoslavia and Rwanda trials, two things become increasingly clear. #JamiaViolence
First, truthful reporting of facts, analytical investigation of issues, and a stand against violence by journalists in all these instances could have both changed the behavior of the perpetrators, and in some instance even prevented the slaughter. #JamiaGunViolence #JamiaViolence
