S.A.R. GEELANI
'I Was Framed ... Only Because I Am A Kashmiri Muslim'
'I am happy to be free man but I do not think an acquittal of an innocent man is a cause for celebration. I think it is a time for reflection on why he was framed and sentenced to death without evidence'

 PARLIAMENT ATTACK CASE: 13/12
The Case Of SAR Gilani
Part 6 of 7—Supreme Court Judgment: '...the untruthful pleas raised by him about his contacts with Shaukat and Afzal give rise to serious suspicion at least about his knowledge of the incident and his tacit approval of it ... suspicion however strong cannot take the place of legal proof. Though his conduct was not above board, the Court cannot condemn him in the absence of sufficient evidence pointing unmistakably to his guilt...'

 OPINION
PRASHANT BHUSHAN
A Rogue Police Cell
There exists a cell of policemen within the Delhi Police which is accountable to no one but itself. Operating without uniforms, these are the dreaded encounters specialists of Delhi....Investigation into the Geelani case should be transferred to an independent body, perhaps to the NHRC or even the CBI.

Who Pulled The Trigger...Didn't We All?
Must we in our hypernationalism take a man who has already suffered enough and reduce him to fish bait? Can we—and our media—stop judging S.A.R. Geelani

Mistaken Identity
Identity discourse makes it impossible to talk about positions, because we are too busy talking about the persons who implicitly embody or explicitly espouse them.

COUNTERPOINT
SHABNAM ALI
In A Free State
I am outraged by the brazen, murderous attack on the life of S.A.R. Geelani, but I feel even more violated by, and take strong exception to, some of the statements by apparently well-meaning commentators...

The Bare Life Of S.A.R. Geelani, Ph.D
What we need to understand urgently is that if Geelani is grievously wounded (no matter who aimed the barrel of a gun at him), it is our freedom that lies bleeding at the door.

'An Assault On Indian Democracy'
"Although we do not wish to pre-judge any specific complicity in the attack on Prof. Geelani at this stage, we strongly feel that the involvement of the Delhi Police itself, especially its Special Branch, in the crime can not be ruled out"

A Lecturer In Prison
There is strong inferential evidence to indicate that Gilani's ties with Afzal and Guru could be fully social and innocent.
