Anti-CAA protests at AMU: Actions of UP Police motivated by desire to 'show students their place', says HRLN fact-finding report

Firstpost  

The actions of the Uttar Pradesh Police on 15 and 16 December at Aligarh Muslim University were brutal but also vindictive, a fact-finding report by HRLN has said. The actions of the Uttar Pradesh Police on 15 and 16 December at Aligarh Muslim University were not only brutal but also vindictive motivated by a desire to ‘show students their place’, a fact-finding report by NGO Human Rights Law Network said. The HRLN’s report on the police actions at AMU said, “The entire incident is a shocking display of police brutality and impunity in the face of peaceful democratic protests by AMU students… All witnesses we spoke to recalled the police was hurling insults and abuses of a rabidly communal nature at the students and the university at large. However, on Sunday evening, an atmosphere of unrest started enveloping the campus following the violence at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.” “As tempers ran high, a group of lumpen elements, yet to be identified, started instigating the protesters and this resulted in a very difficult situation which threatened to go out of control and could have led to a loss of precious lives of innocent students,” Kidwai said.
