Deported from India for protesting against the country's new citizenship law, German student Jakob Lindenthal spoke to TRT World form his German hometown, Dresden
Jakob Lindenthal, a German student who participated in recent protests against India's controversial Citizenship Amendment Act , says the Indian immigration authorities forced him out of the country without any explanation.
His picture, taken at a protest site, quickly went viral on the internet. He was holding a placard that read: "1933-1945: WE HAVE BEEN THERE," hinting at the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws that led to the genocide of at least six million Jewish people. Back in Dresden, Lindenthal's home university TU Dresden has taken over communications with the Indian government and IIT authorities for his possible return.
"TU Dresden offers a great research environment I am confident that I will be able to make up for it," he said. Lindenthal has no regrets in having raised his voice against the Indian law he described as "a big threat to the secular character of India.
