{{Main|Malappuram college sedition row}}
In February 2019 Kerala police arrested two students for allegedly sticking posters on the Kashmir issue inside their college campus. The duo has been booked under section 124(A) sedition, following which several human right activists have voiced their opposition against the police action.

The arrested students, [[Rinshad Reera]] and Faris (20), belong to the B.Com and Islamic History department of the Government College Malappuram. Both of them are part of the [[Radical Students Forum ( RSF )]] , a political group in the college which is vocal about several issues, and had allegedly stuck posters condemning violence against Kashmiri students after the Pulwama terror attack which killed 49 CRPF personnel.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-college-students-booked-sedition-putting-posters-kashmir-issue-97173|title= sedition news|work=The news minute|access-date=2019-02-21|language=en-US}}</ref>

Human rights organisations and Activists had taken a strong stand against the arrest of the students. They released a joint statement signed by the group of activists, lawyers, journalists demanding immediate release of the Student Activists.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://keyboardjournal.com/joint-statement-of-human-rights-activists-demand-withdrawal-of-sedition-charged-on-students-of-malappuram-government-college-over-a-poster-they-pasted-regarding-kashmirs-freedom/|title=Joint statement for the release of students|work=Keyboard Journal|access-date=2019-02-23|language=en-US}}</ref> Manipur folk band [[Imphal Talkies and The Howlers|Imphal Talkies]], [[Baloch people|Baloch]] politician [[Naela Quadri Baloch]], Activist [[GROW Vasu]] and some student's groups from [[Jawaharlal Nehru University|JNU]], [[Jamia Millia Islamia|JMI]], [[University of Hyderabad|HCU]] had expressed their solidarity towards the students.
