Reflections on the Free Babar Ahmad Campaign

The Free Babar Ahmad campaign reached a staggering climax in the last couple of weeks as, after an apathetic start, interest went viral and over 30,000 signatures were posted in two days alone. The petition broke through the 100,000 well ahead of 10th November deadline. Having being involved in drumming up support for the petition in the local area in recent weeks, I wanted to share my thoughts on the campaign. I won’t go into the specifics of the case, as the details are well documented elsewhere on the internet.
