This explainer unpacks FIR 59/2020 – the “larger conspiracy” case filed after the February 2020 North-East Delhi violence and shows how legal design, prosecutorial choices, and judicial transfers produced years of pre-trial detention for many accused. We base this video on the Citizens for Justice and Peace report and corroborating reporting.
