Hours after the Delhi Patiala House Court granted three-day judicial custody of Disha Ravi to Delhi Police in connection with the ‘toolkit’ case, Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg took to Twitter and extended her support for the the Indian activist. “Freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest and assembly are non-negotiable human rights. These must be a fundamental part of any democracy,” Greta tweeted with the hashtag #StandWithDishaRavi.Â
Earlier in the day, Disha was produced before the court amid high security at the end of her five-days police custody for allegedly being involved in sharing a document (toolkit) on social media related to the farmers’ protest.Â
