New Delhi: Staff and students from three United Kingdom universities – Warwick University, the London School of Economics and Cambridge University – have joined the myriad voices from academic spaces across the world voicing their dissent against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
They have also shown their solidarity with students in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University, whose protests were were violently clamped down on by the police.
“The peaceful and non-violent demonstrations by students have been met with extraordinary police violence, particularly in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University, with recent reports from established media sources indicating that police and paramilitary forces entered university campuses and hostels by force and brutally attacked students. As a consequence, hundreds of students have been injured, some very seriously. Such police action contravenes both the Constitution of India as well as internal human rights laws. We call for an immediate end to state-led violence and for proper action to be taken against the perpetrators of it,” 50 students, staff and alumni from Warwick University have said.
They have also demanded that the “immoral” Act be revoked.
Close to 200 students and staff from the London School of Economics and Political Science have supported their colleagues in Warwick and endorsed their statement.
“The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, passed by the Indian Parliament on December 12, 2019, accords the right to religious minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in acquiring Indian citizenship. By the same token, it directly excludes Muslims from the process. Combined with the expanding reach of the National Register of Citizens, this amounts to a virtual denial of citizenship based on religion and represents a complete negation of the ideals of equality and secularism that are an essential part of the Constitution of India. We join students and citizens all across India in support of their demand that this immoral law be abrogated at the earliest,” the statement says.

Scholars, students and alumni at Cambridge University organised a protest and released a statement. Protesters read from the Indian constitution, as a reminder of what the country stands for.
“Coupled with the recently concluded exercise in compiling a National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, which rendered 1.9 million people stateless, the Citizenship Amendment Act raises extremely serious concerns. Although the Bill has been passed by the Parliament, it is clear that this is in contravention of Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees “equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India”. This move adds to the persecution and repression of minorities in India in recent years under the Modi-led BJP government,” the statement endorsed by more than 100 people says.
They have also supported the ongoing protests against the Act and against police action.
Previously, students and workers had protested in London against the CAA. The protest was organised by students from SOAS.
The full text of both the letters has been reproduced below:

Statement from Cambridge against NRC, CAA and in support of student protests in India
We, scholars, students, and alumni of the University of Cambridge, are aggrieved at the recent brutal police crackdown on the all-India student protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019 in India . The CAA seeks to amend the Citizenship Act of 1955, to make ‘illegal’ migrants who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who entered India on or before 31 December 2014, eligible for Indian citizenship. This effectively excludes Muslims from seeking a similar route to Indian citizenship.
Coupled with the recently concluded exercise in compiling a National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam , which rendered 1.9 million people stateless, the Citizenship Amendment Act raises extremely serious concerns. Although the Bill has been passed by the Parliament, it is clear that this is in contravention of Article 14 of the Indian Constitution , which guarantees “ equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India”. This move adds to the persecution and repression of minorities in India in recent years under the Modi-led BJP government.
We wholeheartedly support the protests against The Citizenship Amendment Act ongoing across various universities in India – Aligarh Muslim University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jadavpur University, Delhi University, among others. It is horrifying to learn about the brutality with which the police have clamped down on these campuses, including the use of tear gas in libraries and student halls. As scholars, students, and alumni of Cambridge, we strongly condemn this reprehensible attack on dissent. We stand in solidarity with students protesting the wearing down of the secular fabric of India.

We staff and students at the London School of Economics and Political Science, join the staff and students at Warwick University UK, and stand in solidarity with all students and colleagues in India who are engaged in protests against the discriminatory Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. We believe that the right to dissent, protest and demonstrate are fundamental rights integral to all democracies. Articles 19 (1) (a) and 19 (1) (b) of the Indian Constitution explicitly state that the right to protest is a fundamental right. Such a right is safeguarded in international human rights conventions as well.
The peaceful and non-violent demonstrations by students have been met with extraordinary police violence, particularly in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University, with recent reports from established media sources indicating that police and paramilitary forces entered university campuses and hostels by force and brutally attacked students. As a consequence, hundreds of students have been injured, some very seriously. Such police action contravenes both the Constitution of India as well as international human rights laws. We call for an immediate end to state-led violence and for proper action to be taken against the perpetrators of it.
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, passed by the Indian Parliament on December 12, 2019, accords the right to religious minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in acquiring Indian citizenship. By the same token, it directly excludes Muslims from the process. Combined with the expanding reach of the National Register of Citizens, this amounts to a virtual denial of citizenship based on religion and represents a complete negation of the ideals of equality and secularism that are an essential part of the Constitution of India. We join students and citizens all across India in support of their demand that this immoral law be abrogated at the earliest.
