New Delhi: The Delhi high court today, June 10, granted bail to Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez in a case in which the National Investigation Agency had invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Parvez’s arrest in 2021 and his incarceration since then had invited global censure.
LiveLaw reports that a division bench of Justice Navin Chawla and Justice Ravinder Dudeja allowed Parvez’s appeal challenging a trial court order passed on December 17, 2024, denying him bail.
“We have granted bail, subject to various conditions,” the bench said. The full order is awaited.
In 2023, Parvez was named one of the three recipients of the 2023 Martin Ennals Award. The award, named after a famed British human rights activist, recognises “outstanding activists who pioneered human rights”.
