 Summary of this article
- The life and words of G.N. Saibaba highlight the human cost of prolonged incarceration under terror laws, as he spent a decade in near-solitary confinement before being acquitted in 2024, only months before his death.
- Through accounts of prisoners and former detainees like Umar Khalid, Sudha Bharadwaj, and Anand Teltumbde, the narrative underscores remembrance and writing as acts of resistance, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for dignity and freedom.
“You think of the crime attributed to me: I have lived for freedom, I have tried to find the voice of the voiceless and I have tried to find my voice. I wrote about them. I spoke about them, those my fellow beings who are not allowed to have a voice of their own for centuries. This is my crime. Degrading my body and mind is not simply removing humanity from me alone, it is an act of dehumanising our entire society; our civilizational existence. |
