A group of US lawmakers have expressed their concern over the prolonged pre-trial detention of student activist and scholar Umar Khalid and have written to Vinay Mohan Kwatra , the Indian Ambassador in Washington, over the issue.
Urging that Khalid be granted bail, in their letter, the Members of the US Congress and the US Senate said that Khalid’s confinement in jail for almost five years “raises serious questions about due process, human rights and India’s obligations under international law”, reported The Tribune.
