Speaking at the gathering, Ms Fatima's mother claimed that her daughter has spent three years behind bars. She got bail around two months ago, but is "yet to be released".
It is not possible for her to observe 'roza' as she is not keeping well in jail, said activist Gulfisha Fatima's mother, who met for 'iftaar' families of others arrested under a stringent anti-terror law during the 2020 protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
Communal clashes broke out in northeast Delhi on February 24, 2020, after violence between supporters of the citizenship law and those opposed to it spiralled out of control, leaving at least 53 people dead and around 200 injured.
Speaking at the gathering, Ms Fatima's mother claimed that her daughter has spent three years behind bars. She got bail around two months ago, but is "yet to be released".
"It has been three years since my daughter was arrested and around two months since she got bail. I have no idea what is taking so long to release my daughter from jail. I've been running to courts over and over again. I can only hope she walks free as soon as possible. It is the government that insists us to educate our children. Is this the result of educating my child?" she asked.
