I noticed Devangana and Natasha even before I knew them. They had a kind of presence that set them apart. They were always talking to women and leading protests," shared a member of Pinjra Tod, a collective of women students and alumni of colleges from across Delhi.

Devangana Kalita and Natasha Narwal, human rights defenders with Pinjra Tod, were arrested on May 23 by the Delhi Police, in connection with the protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in North East Delhi.
