“I couldn’t see my mother one last time before her death because I was denied parole. This is a denial of basic Human Rights. My mother passed away when I was in Prison.

We have all the documents, Aadhaar cards, ID cards, PAN cards, and ration cards, and we have voted in elections too. We have been facing harassment for the past three years, and yesterday they cut off our electricity and internet,” says Amir, whose house was among the hundreds of homes demolished in Kogilu village in Bengaluru’s Yelahanka.
