Author Arundhati Roy is facing prosecution under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) after Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena approved the sanction. Alongside former professor Dr. Sheikh Showkat Hussain, Roy is accused of making seditious statements back in 2010. The move has stirred heated debates on freedom of expression and activism in India.

The FIR against Arundhati Roy was filed in response to a complaint by social activist Sushil Pandit from Kashmir in October 2010. The case revolves around Roy's alleged 'provocative' speech at an event a decade ago. The decision to prosecute the renowned author under an anti-terror law has sparked concerns about the misuse of such legislation.

Arundhati Roy, known for her literary works and social activism, is no stranger to controversy. Her fearless stance on contentious issues has garnered both support and criticism. As the case unfolds, it raises questions about the boundaries of free speech and dissent in a democratic society.

The 2010 UAPA case against Arundhati Roy and Sheikh Showkat Hussain highlights the ongoing tensions between civil liberties and national security. It underscores the complexities of navigating political discourse in a polarized environment. As the legal battle progresses, it will be pivotal in shaping the future of activism and advocacy in India.
