NALSAR Students Screen Umar Khalid Documentary Amid Campus Screening Cancellations
Students at NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad screened the documentary "Prisoner No. 626710 is Present," about activist Umar Khalid, despite the event being unauthorised by the administration. The screening followed cancellations at IIIT-Hyderabad and NLSIU Bengaluru, where concerns over certification and permissions arose. The film aims to prompt dialogue on rights and justice, with organisers citing previous denials as reasons for bypassing formal approval. Attendance was limited due to rain, and the event was described as a space for solidarity and conversation.
