Court Grants Bail to Activist Khurram Parvez
Khurram Parvez is a human rights activist from Kashmir who has been in jail for four and a half years.
He was charged with terror-related activities under a strict law called UAPA.
Recently, two courts in Delhi granted him bail.
The first bail was granted by the Delhi High Court on June 10, and the second by the Patiala House Court on June 17.
This means he can be released from jail.
Some people, including the government, believe he was involved in illegal activities, while others, including his supporters, think he was targeted for his human rights work.
The courts have not yet explained their decisions in detail.
Khurram Parvez, a Kashmiri human rights activist, was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on June 10 in a UAPA case.
He was subsequently granted bail by the Patiala House Court on June 17 in another pending terror case.
Parvez had been in jail for four and a half years before these bail grants.
The bail grants pave the way for his release, but detailed orders from the courts are awaited.
