Three life terms for Kashmir’s Aasiya Andrabi fit India’s ‘broader pattern’ | Prison News

Aasiya Andrabi, founder of the banned all-women's organization Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM), was sentenced to three life terms by an Indian court. Andrabi and two associates were convicted on charges of provoking hostility between communities, undermining national integration, and instigating public disorder. The court found no evidence related to terrorism charges but convicted Andrabi based on offensive speech. Legal experts criticize the verdict as a move that raises questions about India's tolerance of dissenting voices.
