Prof. Angela Davis: Solidarity with UAPA Prisoners #StandWithJamia
Channel: Collective
Date: 2020-05-23

The COVID 19 Lockdown has exposed how the ruling regime considers repressing democratic voices as an 'essential service'. UAPA and Sedition laws have been used to for a witch-hunt of those who stand by secular, progressive ideals. Peasant and working class organizers, democratic rights defenders, lawyers, journalists and others have also been arrested under these colonial-era laws. Even as the people are left alone to battle hunger, destitution and public health crisis, the RSS-BJP regime quietly puts these pro-people voices in prisons.

Joining us in solidarity with these political prisoners is Prof. Angela Davis. She is professor emerita at University of California, USA, a vocal abolitionist feminist and author of 'Are Prisons Obsolete?' Prof. Davis underwent imprisonment herself, as a militant anti-racist revolutionary, and the 'Campaign to Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners' is remembered as a success of international solidarity against state authoritarianism.
