NEW DELHI — Netizens on Thursday, October 14, launched an online campaign demanding justice for UAPA detainee Atikur Rahman. They contended that it is the Uttar Pradesh government’s legal responsibility to protect his life and provide money for his treatment. #SaveAtikurLife and #ProvideMoneyForSurgery trended Twitter as part of the campaign.
Despite Atikur's worsening health condition, the UP govt is turning blind eye on this. We won't let you kill an innocent man in the name of conspiracy. We demand you to provide necessary treatment and money for the surgery immediately#ProvideMoneyforSurgery#SaveAtikurLife pic.twitter.com/FpiC8we4cK

Atikur Rahman's doctors have recommended an urgent surgery,as the torturous incarceration has worsened his health. It is the govt's responsibility to cover it,due to its culpability in putting his life in peril. Right must be served to him.#SaveAtikurLife#ProvideMoneyforSurgery pic.twitter.com/ozOR6Hoybx

“UP Government’s vengeance must be brought to the public domain,” the statement read while pointing out the delay by jail authorities in providing medical treatment to Atik.
The 27-year-old suffers from a serious heart condition and his family and lawyers are demanding immediate surgical intervention. All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on October 8 advised Rahman to undergo surgery costing around 2 lakh. He also needs 10 units of blood for the surgery. He was taken back to the jail after a check-up.
His health condition had worsened when he was being taken to Lucknow to present in (Prevention of Money Laundering) PMLA court for hearing in connection with the case under UAPA.

UP govt must need to stop playing with Atik's life, Jail authority is denying to pay for his surgery, while the article 21 of Indian constitution address about Right to life, UP govt is not only anticonstitution but also inhumane . #SaveAtikurLife #ProvideMoneyforSurgery pic.twitter.com/yTUiounxKp

Rahman suffers from Aortic regurgitation- a cardiac problem that develops when the aortic valve in the heart does not shut securely enough. Heart failure is the most dangerous consequence that might occur as a result of this condition.
The unjustly incarceration, falsely slapping UAPA & currently inhumane demeanour of authorities by denying the medicare facilities shows the barbaric attitude of fascists.The authorities must make necessary arrangements to save Atik’s life.#ProvideMoneyforSurgery#SaveAtikurLife pic.twitter.com/1Bv8WxFiHg

Atiqur Rahman's health condition worsened due to the murderous & Islamophobic carceral system. Atiq needs urgent surgery & the state should cover the charges for the same.
Hindutva state is the reason for Atiq's ordeal.#SaveAtikurlife@CampusFrontKar@Athavulla_cfi@ndtv pic.twitter.com/UnEj1X3xNT— afsarkodlipet (@afsarkodlipet) October 14, 2021
