Dear Indian Wikimedians,
As many of you may have known, one of our fellow Wikimedian was arrested by
Uttar Pradesh Police in October 2020. His name is Siddique Kappan (His
wikimedia username is User:Sidheeq). He is from Kerala, and he was active
in Wikimedia projects (mainly in Malayalam Wikipedia) until his arrest.
Incidently he is a journalist and he was arrested from the home of Hathras
rape and murder victim while reporting the victim Dalit girl's family
members. UP Police has slapped Sedition, Terrorism as well as UAPA charges
against him.
Kappen is diabetic and now COVID positive. He was admitted to hospital only
after he collapsed in the jail cell. With his deteriorating health, it was
accused that Kappan was chained to hospital bed like an animal. Today's
news reports say that he is in critical condition. (You could always google
"Siddique Kappan")
As a tone deaf people I don't expect anything from this mail, I just wish
to share the information.
Stay Inside, Stay Complementary (non-critical), Stay safe, Stay healthy.

Dear all,
We informed you about our fundraising test back in March [1] and I just
quickly wanted to follow up on this initial message. Due to the COVID 19
situation in India we have decided to not run the fundraising campaign. The
campaign will happen at some stage in the future and I will be in touch
with more details in plenty of time.
Our thoughts are with you all and for those of you who are not aware yet,
there is COVID 19 support available for Indian Wikipedia volunteers [2].
In case you have not met me yet, hi, I am Julia, the new Community
Relations person in the Advancement Department. If you have any questions
or comments, please do get in touch and I will help you further.
All my best,
Julia
