About the Poetry

This latest piece by Asian artist Poet DEOL is a profound and moving expression of the human condition, confronting harsh realities with a blend of passion and sensitivity. It sheds light on the struggles faced by individuals in the shadows of societal systems, often ignored and unheard. Where they have been imprisoned illegally without due process, The poetry is a testament to DEOL’s commitment to conscientious artistry, challenging listeners to reflect and act.

Excerpt from the Poetry:

So troubled are the citizens currently

That in their desperation

Their intellect has abandoned them.

On every corner, a new holy magician arises

Promising the latest round of grand illusions of nirvana

But in actual fact only assisting in ‘hellifying’

Further still, a decaying paradise.

These powerful lines encapsulate the essence of the poetry, speaking to the heart of injustice and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The poem was dedicated to Jaggi Johal, a U.K citizen currently being held in Indian prison and many others like him held in prisons across the world without legal process. Jaggi has been detained since 2017.

In May 2022, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared his detention arbitrary and unlawful under international law. The Working Group determined that Jagtar’s detention “lacks [a] legal basis”, was based on “discriminatory grounds” owing to his faith and his “status as a human rights defender”, and that Jagtar was “subjected to torture”.
