Umar Khalid, a former student leader and academic, is still being held in Tihar Jail under anti-terrorism laws. This follows accusations related to the Delhi riots in 2020.

前學生領袖兼學者 Umar Khalid 仍根據反恐法被拘留於 Tihar 監獄。這是由於與 2020 年德里暴動相關的指控。

The detention of Umar Khalid takes place during a period of political tension between the BJP government and those who support secularism. Khalid, a PhD student from Jawaharlal Nehru University, became well-known during the 2019 protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. After the violence in Delhi in February 2020, authorities claimed that Khalid was a main conspirator in a plan to cause a violent change in government. Consequently, he was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Umar Khalid 的拘留發生在 BJP 政府與支持世俗主義者政治緊張的時期。Khalid 是賈瓦哈拉爾-尼赫魯大學的博士生，在 2019 年反對《公民權法》（修正案）的抗議活動中嶄露頭角。在 2020 年 2 月德里發生暴力事件後，當局聲稱 Khalid 是一項旨在透過暴力手段改變政府計劃的主要陰謀者。因此，他根據《非法活動（防止）法》（UAPA）被逮捕。

There are very different views regarding the legal process. The BJP government emphasizes that the prosecution is not political and that the courts are independent. On the other hand, human rights groups and politicians, such as MP Shashi Tharoor, argue that the fact that there has been no trial for six years is a failure of justice. Khalid himself has asserted that the government has made hate speech acceptable and that the silence of other political parties allows the state to suppress dissent.

關於法律程序存在截然不同的看法。BJP 政府強調起訴並非出於政治目的，且法院是獨立的。另一方面，人權組織和政治人物（如國會議員 Shashi Tharoor）則認為，六年來沒有審判是司法失敗。Khalid 本人則斷言，政府使仇恨言論變得被接受，而其他政黨的沉默則讓國家得以壓制異議。

Regarding the legal process, Khalid's efforts to get bail have been delayed many times. However, there are some new developments; a Delhi court has asked the police for information regarding new bail applications. These requests are based on a Supreme Court decision which suggests that staying in prison for too long without a trial may be more important than the strict rules of the UAPA. Additionally, the courts have given some short-term relief, such as a three-day bail in June to care for his mother.

在法律程序方面，Khalid 申請保釋的努力多次被推遲。然而，目前有一些新進展；德里法院已要求警方提供有關新保釋申請的資訊。這些請求是基於最高法院的一項裁決，該裁決建議，在沒有審判的情況下監禁過久，其重要性可能超過 UAPA 的嚴格規定。此外，法院提供了一些短期救濟，例如在 6 月准予三日保釋以照顧其母親。

Umar Khalid remains in prison without a trial date, although his current legal team is challenging the length of his detention.

Umar Khalid 仍被囚禁且尚未有審判日期，儘管其目前的法律團隊正在對其拘留時長提出質疑。
