&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A journalist from Kerala was accused of sedition and various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, (UAPA) and arrested on the way to Hathras on October 7. In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised and used routinely against critics of various ruling governments. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau&amp;rsquo;s recently-released Crime in India statistics for 2019 confirm these observations. Ninety-three cases of sedition were filed in 2019, a 165% jump from 35 in 2016. In 2019, 1,226 UAPA cases were filed, a 33% increase from 2016.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines sedition as any signs, visible representations, or words, spoken or written, that can cause &amp;ldquo;hatred or contempt, or excite or attempt to excite disaffection&amp;rdquo; towards the government. Sedition has a chequered colonial legacy of being used by the British against critics of the British administration. In Independent India, it has become a tool to curb freedom of speech and expression.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Although the Supreme Court has stated in the Kedarnath case that the offence of sedition is not made out unless the accused person incites people to violence against the government established by law or with the intention of creating public disorder, the police are either not aware of this requirement or willfully ignore it. People have been accused of sedition for staging a school play which criticised the prime minister, for saying that &amp;ldquo;Pakistan is not hell&amp;rdquo; and for writing to the prime minister about mob lynchings.&lt;/p&gt;

In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised and used routinely against critics of various ruling governments. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau&amp;rsquo;s recently-released Crime in India statistics for 2019 confirm these observations. Ninety-three cases of sedition were filed in 2019, a 165% jump from 35 in 2016.

In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised against critics of the govt. National Crime Records Bureau&amp;rsquo;s recently-released data confirms this.

A journalist from Kerala was accused of sedition and various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, (UAPA)...&#039;,

In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised and used routinely against critics of various ruling governments. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau&amp;rsquo;s recently-released Crime in India statistics for 2019 confirm these observations. Ninety-three cases of sedition were filed in 2019, a 165% jump from 35 in 2016.

Sedition has a chequered colonial legacy of being used by the British against critics of the British administration.

People have been accused of sedition for staging a school play which criticised the prime minister, for saying that &amp;ldquo;Pakistan is not hell&amp;rdquo; and for writing to the prime minister about mob lynchings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://theprint.in/opinion/ncrb-2019-data-shows-165-jump-in-sedition-cases-33-jump-in-uapa-cases-under-modi-govt/521861/?fbclid=IwAR0NwXold_7oyrvmn9Vk7MlMx3x-mN9LTgRVNBLIwUWTuCGq_91npNVNdyI&quot; title=&quot;https://theprint.in/opinion/ncrb-2019-data-shows-165-jump-in-sedition-cases-33-jump-in-uapa-cases-under-modi-govt/521861/?fbclid=IwAR0NwXold_7oyrvmn9Vk7MlMx3x-mN9LTgRVNBLIwUWTuCGq_91npNVNdyI&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;,

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised against critics of the govt. National Crime Records Bureau&rsquo;s recently-released data confirms this.</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">A journalist from Kerala was accused of sedition and various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, (UAPA) and arrested on the way to Hathras on October 7. In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised and used routinely against critics of various ruling governments. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau&rsquo;s recently-released Crime in India statistics for 2019 confirm these observations. Ninety-three cases of sedition were filed in 2019, a 165% jump from 35 in 2016. In 2019, 1,226 UAPA cases were filed, a 33% increase from 2016.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines sedition as any signs, visible representations, or words, spoken or written, that can cause &ldquo;hatred or contempt, or excite or attempt to excite disaffection&rdquo; towards the government. Sedition has a chequered colonial legacy of being used by the British against critics of the British administration. In Independent India, it has become a tool to curb freedom of speech and expression.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Although the Supreme Court has stated in the Kedarnath case that the offence of sedition is not made out unless the accused person incites people to violence against the government established by law or with the intention of creating public disorder, the police are either not aware of this requirement or willfully ignore it. People have been accused of sedition for staging a school play which criticised the prime minister, for saying that &ldquo;Pakistan is not hell&rdquo; and for writing to the prime minister about mob lynchings.</p>

NCRB 2019 data shows 165% jump in sedition cases, 33% jump in UAPA cases under Modi govt -Leah Verghese

-ThePrint.in In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised against critics of the govt. National Crime Records Bureau’s recently-released data confirms this. A journalist from Kerala was accused of sedition and various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, (UAPA) and arrested on the way to Hathras on October 7. In recent years, sedition and UAPA have been weaponised and used routinely against critics of various ruling governments. Data from the National Crime Records Bureau’s recently-released Crime in India statistics for 2019 confirm these observations. Ninety-three cases of sedition were filed in 2019, a 165% jump from 35 in 2016. In 2019, 1,226 UAPA cases were filed, a 33% increase from 2016. Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines sedition as any signs, visible representations, or words, spoken or written, that can cause “hatred or contempt, or excite or attempt to excite disaffection” towards the government. Sedition has a chequered colonial legacy of being used by the British against critics of the British administration. In Independent India, it has become a tool to curb freedom of speech and expression.
