New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sent a handwritten note to Umar Khalid, an undertrial prisoner in India since 2020, expressing solidarity and reminding him that he is not forgotten. The note, described as a human gesture rather than a political document, offered words of encouragement regarding bitterness and isolation. Khalid has been imprisoned under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the 2020 Delhi riots and is awaiting trial. His partner shared the note on social media, highlighting the human element amidst ongoing legal proceedings.
