The Campaign Against State Repression (CASR), a collective of more than 35 organisations, has released its fact finding ground report about recent violence in Haryana’s Nuh district. The report was titled as “Persecuted for Resistance.”
The fact-finding team constitutes lawyers, academics, journalists, students and farmer and labor union activists.
The fact-finding team conducted a visit to various villages and towns in Nuh from August 19th to August 21st, 2023. During this period, the team observed and gathered testimonies in Nuh city and several villages, including Untka, Muradbaas, Nallhad, Palladi, Kheda, and more. The team interacted with family members of the arrested individuals, local leaders, and activists.
At the report releasing event titled as “Authority and Complicity: Exposing state sponsored violence from Manipur to Mewat,” activist John Dayal analysed the socio-political condition of Nuh, where all the shops of Muslims were demolished which broke the economic backbone of the community.
“This initiative can’t be addressed just as a data collection but a documentation of onslaught that was targeted at Muslims in Nuh, Mewat. It was a Pre-Planned and well coordinated attempt by fascist goons in regard to the upcoming elections. We demand the rebuilding of shops and houses that have been demolished, the initiation of strong actions against those who instigated the violence, and the release of falsely incarcerated people,” said Asim Khan, president of Fraternity Movement.
