Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) chief Safdar Hussain Nagori and 10 other activists of the banned group were on Monday awarded life imprisonment in a 2008 sedition case for the Ahmedabad blasts. Special Additional Sessions Judge BK Paloda pronounced all the 11 SIMI activists guilty under IPC Sections 124(A) (sedition) and 153 (A)(promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion) and also under the relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
On a plea of 10 of the accused lodged in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Central Jail, they were informed about the court’s judgement through video-conferencing.
