HYDERABAD: Students, activists and citizens protested opposite Sundarayya Park on Saturday demanding release of Noida workers and activists arrested after labour protests in April. Organised by the Campaign for Release of Workers and Activists of Noida (CaRWAN), the protest alleged that many remain in jail for five months through multiple cases.

Activists cited the Allahabad High Court order quashing the NSA detention of Aakriti Chaudhary and awarding her ₹5 lakh compensation, but noted she remains in custody in other cases. Disha Students’ Organisation activist Mahipal alleged that 11 FIRs had been filed over the same episode and accused police of illegal arrests, custodial torture, fabricated evidence and unauthorised searches.

Protesters demanded unconditional release of the workers and activists and an end to what they described as police repression.
