Ishrat Jahan is an Indian practising advocate and former municipal councillor for the Indian National Congress [1] in Delhi who is an accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [2] and was granted bail on 14 March 2022 after her incarceration since February 2020.[3]
Biography [ edit ]
Jahan has been a practising advocate with the Bar Council of Delhi since 2006.[4] [5] She was elected a councillor for Jagatpuri (an urban ward in Krishna Nagar, Delhi )[6] under the Indian National Congress ticket in 2012.[7]
Ishrat Jahan was a prominent activist in the Citizenship Amendment Act protests that began on 13 January 2020.[2] [7] She was arrested on 26 February 2020[4] along with two other activists on a variety of charges.[2] Lawyers from the Indian Civil Liberties Union and the Human Rights Law Network who went to the police station to seek their release were allegedly beaten by police.[2] After Jahan was granted bail on 21 March 2020, she was arrested again the same day for charges related to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).[4] [7]
Ishrat Jahan was accused of giving provocative speeches leading up to the violence that rocked northeast Delhi in February 2020 during the Citizenship Amendment Act protests .[8] [9] In May 2020, she was granted ten days bail to get married in June 2020.[10] Ishrat married Farhan Hashmi on 12 June 2020.[4] Thereafter, she was denied interim bail and returned to jail on 19 June.[6] [11] On 31 July 2020, her appeal to the Delhi High Court against a trial court order granting the police more time to file a chargesheet was denied.[12] She was again denied bail on 27 November 2020.[13]
She was lodged at the Mandoli jail until March 2022, where she complained of being harassed on a regular basis and beaten by the inmates in at least two incidents (in November and December 2020). A district court judge noted that Jahan was in a state of "utter fear" and directed jail authorities to provide security to her.[14] [15] [16] [11] [17]
On 14 March 2022, Jahan got bail in all pending cases against her.[3] After she was released, she continued to assert that she has been wrongly accused and that the anti-CAA protests were not linked to violence.[18]
