Are Universities Still Safe for Dissenting Voices ?
In this archival interview recorded in 2019, late Prof. S.A.R. Geelani discusses the police raid on Delhi University professor Hany Babu, the continued targeting of the Committee for the Defense of G.N. Saibaba, and the role of Rona Wilson in organizing legal support for political prisoners.
