A total of 350 students from across the country have written to Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal seeking immediate release of KMSS chief Akhil Gogoi, who was arrested by NIA for his alleged role in violent anti-CAA protests and on charges of his alleged link with the ‘Maoists’.

The students from various colleges and universities including Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IIT-Guwahati, Tripura Central University, EFLU Shillong, NEHU Meghalaya, NSD-Agartala, Banaras Hindu University, IIT-Mandi, USTM Meghalaya, Jamia Millia Islamia, Pondicherry University, Birla Institute of Technology-Mesra and Gujarat Central University condemned the continued detention of Gogoi.

They also demanded immediate and unconditional release of all anti-CAA activists and extend proper medical care for them.

Here is the full statement issued by the students:

The students’ fraternity of Assam wrote to Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal condemning the unjustified long-term imprisonment of anti-CAA activists, namely Akhil Gogoi, Dhaijya Konwar, Bittu Sonowal, and Manas Konwar among others.

As the letter stated, it is deplorable how under the pretext of several flimsy allegations one following the other, the investigating agency has managed to extend their period of incarceration for more than six months now. It is a matter of great concern to the people of Assam that a number of students, including Devangana Kalita, who led the anti-CAA protest in New Delhi, has faced the same predicament.

At a time when the entire globe faces tremendous challenges of a pandemic situation, we, the student community of Assam demand the provision for proper treatment to the imprisoned Akhil Gogoi, Dhaijya Konwar, Bitu Sonwal and Manas Konwar and we demand their release without further delay. They consider it the responsibility of the government of Assam to exercise its constitutional obligation to ensure the release of Devangana Kalita as well.

The apparent indifference of the government of Assam to provide adequate healthcare to the inmates including Akhil Gogoi, who has been of poor health for a while now and recently tested positive for Covid-19 along with his KMSS associates, has betrayed its callous position considering the crisis at hand. It is not only unjust but also a clear violation of the rights conferred by the constitution. It must be noted that The UN has also called for the release of political prisoners citing the dire situation in all the countries.

Therefore, the student’s fraternity of Assam exclusively places the following demands:

The immediate and unconditional release of all Anti-CAA activists.
Provision for proper medical attention to the inmates.
To safeguard the constitution and uphold the democratic spirit of the nation.

The letter has been mailed at 11:28 on July 12 with signatories from Cotton University, Tezpur University, Gauhati University, Dibrugarh University, Assam University, IIT Guwahati, NIT Silchar, Gauhati Medical College, National School of Drama, JB College, Arya Vidyapith College, North Lakhimpur College, DKD College, Darrang College among others. Many of the students studying in Delhi University, JNU and abroad also extended solidarity to this cause.
