Over 100 concerned citizens demand immediate release of Mohammed Zubair

The Hindu  

Over 100 concerned citizens have demanded immediate release of Mohammed Zubair, the co-founder of AltNews, welcoming the Delhi High Court’s notice to the Delhi Police seeking a response on a petition challenging the legality and propriety of his four-day police remand and the seizure of his digital devices. “We believe that Mr. Zubair is being targeted maliciously for performing the role which a media person is expected to perform, namely scrupulous fact checking as well as exposing fake news and political disinformation.” Among those who have endorsed the statement are writer and human rights activist Aakar Patel, independent journalist Ajit Sahi, Arjun Sheoran of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties, Kavita Krishnan of the All India Progressive Women’s Association, Natasha Bhadwar of Karwan-e-Mohabbat and Dalit women’s activist Priyanka. The account came into being on October 2021, had only one follower, and this complaint was his first tweet, although in court during Mr. Zubair’s remand hearing on Tuesday, the police had submitted that the person running the Twitter account was ‘not anonymous’,” said the statement. “It is ironical that on the same day as Mr. Zubair’s arrest, India, along with G7 countries, signed the ‘2022 Resilient Democracies Statement’, wherein the Indian government committed to ‘guarding the freedom, independence and diversity of civil society actors’ and ‘protecting the freedom of expression and opinion online and offline’,” said the statement.
