New Delhi [India]February 24 (ANI): Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Wednesday expressed happiness over the release of “climate activist” Disha Ravi in connection with the “toolbox” case and said the subordinate judiciary has begun to question the abuse of the sedition law.
“Bail to Disha, encouraging to note that while superior courts have chosen to wait and watch in matters of rebellion, subordinate judiciary has begun to question the abuse of rebellious law,” the congressman tweeted.
A Delhi district court on Tuesday granted bail to climate activist Disha Ravi, who was arrested for participating in sharing a “toolbox” on social media in connection with the ongoing agricultural protest.
The Delhi Sessions Court had granted the bail to Disha, subject to two securities of Rs 1 lakh each.
The same court had granted a one-day police report to the 22-year-old climate activist on Monday, who was arrested by the special cell of the Delhi police on February 13 from Bengaluru.
Earlier, prosecutor Vikas, representing the Delhi police, had informed the court that there were two other defendants in this case – Nikita and Shantanu – who had joined the investigation. Recently, both have been protected from arrest by the Bombay High Court. She was one of the editors of the Google Tool.
On February 3, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg had shared this “toolbox” in a tweet that she later deleted. Greta had also increased support for protests by farmers’ unions at the borders with Delhi against the new agricultural laws. (ANI)
