The Allahabad High Court today (6th Jan) extended the stay on Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair’s arrest until January 16, 2025, regarding an FIR based on his social media post about Yati Narsinghanand’s inflammatory speech. Zubair argues his post was a freedom of speech exercise, not inciting violence, amid state claims of misinformation.
A petition in the Allahabad High Court seeks to restrain Yati Narsinghanand from making derogatory comments about Prophet Muhammad and the Quran, requesting the removal of his “hate speech” from social media. The petitioners argue that his actions jeopardize societal stability and call for legal action against him due to his history of hate speech.
The Madras High Court Yesterday (August 16, 2024) refused to grant anticipatory bail to an individual who had been booked under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act of 2000 for having shared a blasphemous post against Prophet Muhammad on his Facebook page.
