Syed Umar Khalid (born 11 August 1987) is an Indian student activist, a former research scholar at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU),[1][2] former leader of Democratic Students' Union (DSU) in JNU.[3] He was allegedly involved in the JNU sedition row. Considered a political prisoner, Khalid has been imprisoned in Tihar Jail for alleged involvement in the 2020 Delhi Riots since September 2020 and has consistently been denied bail, even though his court trial is yet to begin.[4][5][6][7] Khalid is also associated with United Against Hate, a campaign founded along with Nadeem Khan in July 2017 in response to a series of lynchings.[8][9]
