Woman Jailed Over 'Maoist Links' Miscarries a Week After Court Dismisses Medical Bail Plea https://thewire.in/rights/anita-aazad-prabha-kushwaha-miscarriage-jail-medical-bail-maoist-link  The UP Anti-Terrorist Squad had on October 18 arrested Anita Aazad alias Prabha and her husband and fellow activist Brijesh Kushwaha, more than four years after the couple had been questioned for suspected Maoist links. While the police did not arrest the couple in 2019 for want of physical evidence, Kushwaha and Prabha were arrested in October on the basis of examination and data extraction of electronic devices seized from them four years ago.

Prabha alleged that the doctor treating her inside the prison did not show the required urgency to send her to the district hospital for treatment when she suffered abdomen pain. “It is entirely the doctor’s fault,” she said, adding that spotting (a term for vaginal bleeding) had started on Friday night but she was taken to the district hospital only on Saturday evening.

If I must die - Refaat Alareer
           
If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story,
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye,
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze
- and bid no one farewell
not even to his own flesh
not even to himself –
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love.
If I must die,
let it bring hope,
let it be a tale.
