. @guardian reports on #NavreetSingh death: Dr Basil Purdue, a pathologist registered with the UK Home Office who examined the video footage and postmortem, said: “To me this is one gunshot wound, possibly two, unless proved otherwise. You cannot get these injuries from a fall."
9 journalists face sedition & other criminal charges, for reporting on questions #NavreetSingh's family have about his death. The same lot that spent weeks claiming Sushant Singh Rajput's death was murder not suicide, brands it sedition to ask questions about Navreet's death!
Video footage, postmortem show a huge hole under Navreet's lip, and another one behind his ear on the other side, with brain matter spilling out. Gee, what could possibly explain two round holes on opposite sides of the head 🤔. Why prevent journalists from asking the obvious?
* one neat hole, the other more messy with brain matter spilling out.

#Thread The FIR against @GretaThunberg isn't a joke. @DelhiPolice claims the toolkit is proof of a "conspiracy". In the protests against the Islamophobic citizenship law CAA, the same police used a WhatsApp group as pretext to arrest scores of activists for "conspiracy" to riot!
Likewise, members of the Elgar Parishad, who formed an anti fascist front and held a peaceful event which was attacked by far-right mobs, have been in jail for 3 years + now, accused of vague "conspiracies". In India under Modi, any plans to protest = conspiracy.
Meanwhile the @DelhiPolice did not even touch far-right Hindu supremacist hatemongers who instigated people to shoot Muslims & anti CAA protestors, and led rioting mobs to kill Muslims last year. Did not touch RW mobs that entered JNU campus, broke skulls of students & teachers
It's the shrug in this tweet that is part of the problem. If you share the survey minus a context where you explain how constitutional morality (as opposed to majoritarian morality) is supposed to work in law-making & life, you make the results seem like a mandate. #journalism
Such findings are not surprising. What @IndiaToday@sardesairajdeep could do for context for eg: discuss SARI surveys which found that most Indians across caste lines want intercaste marriage outlawed. No govt said that's a mandate for such laws? Why not? thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…
SARI surveys, which are high on context & analysis not clickbait, also found that a majority practices untouchability. That is not a mandate for legalising untouchability, and that needs to be underscored, explained when shared in media @IndiaToday scroll.in/latest/864755/…
21st century India: This @INCIndia MLA's demand that women be forced to seek parental consent to marry so as not to "hurt sentiments" of parents, is a reminder that BJP's poisonous "love jehad" lie flourishes in a larger climate of social & political hostility to women's autonomy
In my book, Fearless Freedom, I make the case that violence against the autonomy of women & LGBTQ persons is the most widespread and harmful kind of gender-based violence in India, one that hides in plain sight, masquerading as "safety" & protection. @PenguinIndia@sorcerical
If you are interested in understanding how India got to the point where a ruling party can openly seek to criminalise interfaith marriage with "love jehad" ordinances, if you want to understand how to fight back, do read #FearlessFreedom. (Yes, plugging my research, hard work!)
My account in @thewire_in of meeting Muskan and Rashid, victims of a series of violent acts by the Bajrang Dal, and by a range of UP government authorities including the police, shelter home and hospital. thewire.in/communalism/up…
Advised by @SartajAlamIndia Muskan was taken to Bijnor, where she got an ultrasound done at a private clinic. The report shows that there are “retained products of conception” (foetal matter left over after a miscarriage or abortion) in her uterus.
The hospital denies causing Muskan to miscarry – but their denial rings false. They declared no miscarriage had occurred – which is now proven to be a lie. Most shockingly, in actions that befit a Mengele, they did not prescribe any antibiotics to Muskan after the miscarriage.
कल कांठ, मुरादाबाद में AIPWA, AISA, और HRLN की टीम गई थी, UP के लव विरोधी अध्यादेश से पीड़ित दम्पत्ति मुस्कान और राशिद से मिलने. वहां दिए गए मेरे बयान का, और फिर राशिद और मुस्कान से बातचीत के वीडियो ke अंश इस ट्वीट की लड़ी में साझा किया है
फ़िल्मों में प्यार की कहानी देखो और अपने समाज में प्यार की हत्या होने दो - देश के लोगों को ऐसे ढोंग का विरोध करना चाहिए
मुस्कान के स्वास्थ्य का, उसके पेट में पलते बच्चे का जो नुकसान हुआ, उसका न्याय कैसे होगा?
We found that 1) Muskan is very weak after her miscarriage, and the Moradabad District Hospital where she was admitted has not given her the treatment papers, nor any course of antibiotics and painkillers to prevent post miscarriage infections that can affect fertility in future
2) The first dose of antibiotics & painkillers Muskan received is today - after we got her to speak on phone to a senior gynaecologist in Delhi, who explained that antibiotics are always prescribed following a miscarriage, to prevent infections.
