In this episode of Khakiland, Human rights activist and researcher Sajjad Hussain discusses the widespread and systematic violence that occurred in Uttar Pradesh on 20 December 2019, which left 23 Muslims killed in nine districts of Uttar Pradesh. After the killing spree over the anticipation of anti-CAA protests, police forcefully buried the bodies of the slain. The pattern of police action, use of excessive force, and lack of accountability are examined in detail, with Hussain suggesting why it may constitute crimes against humanity.
