Espionage charges

On 11 November 1992, Fauziyya Hassan was arrested on suspicion of being a spy along with her friend Mariyam Rasheedha. They were accused of being conduits that would pass on defence information to Pakistan and shown to be funded by a Maldivian banker. In an interview with the Malayalam daily Malayala Manorama, Hassan claimed she was forced to accept the allegations against her when the investigators brought her 14-year-old daughter before her and threatened to rape her. The charge of suspected espionage could not be proved and the court let off the two women though they remained in prison in view of other suits pending against them. Eventually, Hassan was cleared of all charges and released, only to be re-arrested under the National Security Act. Imprisoned in Kerala for over three years in the fake ISRO espionage case, Hassan demanded that India compensate her, without waiting for her to apply.
