In December, the Aligarh Muslim University saw protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Several student activists participated in these protests and were arrested in a conspicuous manner between April and July. Critics have called these arrests a witch-hunt of political dissenters. Sharjeel Usmani, Farhan Zuberi and Amir Minto, three student activists who were arrested, share their stories with The Wire.
