Sharjeel Imam
Sharjeel Imam (born 1988) is an activist in India. He participated in the Citizenship Amendment Act protests, against the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). He was later arrested by the Delhi Police under sedition laws for "inflammatory" speeches, which called for the permanent cutting-off of the state of Assam, which allegedly incited the 2020 Delhi riots. His incarceration has drawn condemnation from international human rights groups such as Human Rights Watch, the International Federation for Human Rights, and Amnesty International. The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) lists him in its victims database as being detained for his "religious freedom advocacy." According to USCIRF, Sharjeel Imam was arrested in January 2020 for taking part in "peaceful protests opposing the religious discriminatory Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) in December 2019 and January 2020."
