Released on bail in the ‘toolkit’ case, climate activist Disha Ravi released a statement talking about the time she spent in Tihar jail and her idea of climate justice.

Disha Ravi, the 22-year-old climate activist arrested in connection with the 'toolkit' case, has finally broken her silence. The activist associated closely with Greta Thunberg's Fridays for Future movement released a four-page statement on Twitter on Saturday. I'm letting this out into the internet void in order to present a narrative that is my own.P.S. This is based on my personal experience and does not represent the opinion of any climate movement, group, or organisation. pic.twitter.com/djrieCZcn8 In the statement, Disha Ravi said she "coerced" herself into believing that the only way she would be able to live through the detention was to trick herself into thinking that this was not happening to her. Delhi Police arrested Disha Ravi from her home in Bengaluru on February 13. The police said Disha Ravi created an online document that aimed to "tarnish the image" of India in the backdrop of the farmers' agitation.
