Toolkit case: Greta Thunberg extends support to Disha Ravi

Toolkit case: Greta Thunberg extends support to Disha Ravi

In regard with the Greta Thunberg toolkit case, Disha Ravi was sent to three-day judicial custody on Friday. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg extended support to the Indian climate activist for the same.

“Freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest and assembly are non-negotiable human rights. These must be a fundamental part of any democracy,” wrote Thunberg on Twitter.

21-year-old Disha Ravi was arrested by the Delhi police on Saturday night along with other activists Shantanu Muluk and Nikita Jacob. The police claimed that a toolkit document in support of the farmers’ agitation against the three contentious laws was created which aimed to spread misinformation, incite unrest and was linked to clashes that occurred in the national capital on Republic Day.
