Petition · Bihar Governor and CM: We appeal for the release of the two supporters of a rape survivor #FreeKalyaniTanmay #ArariaArrests · Change.org
Mayank Rungta
Many of us have heard about the case in Araria, Bihar because a gang rape survivor was jailed for raising her voice in court. Along with the survivor, her two young social worker friends Kalyani and Tanmay were also arrested.
All three were charged with contempt of court, obstruction of public duty and sent to jail. There was a huge public outcry over this and survivor was released on bail after 9 days. However, her two friends, who were there to support her throughout the ordeal, continue to languish behind bars since 10th July (which makes them particularly vulnerable in these COVID times). Every day they spend behind bars is a travesty of justice.
Is this what should happen to those of us who bravely stand up against sexual assault? What kind of message is being sent out? Sign my petition so that the two social worker friends of the survivor are freed immediately.
