India's Supreme Court set aside the death penalties ordered by the Delhi High Court against Mohammed Afzal and Shaukat Hussain Guru, two Kashmiri Muslims, for their role in an attack on India's parliament on 13 December 2001. In October 2003, the Delhi High court upheld the death penalty on the two Kashmiri men pronounced by the lower trial court in December 2002. But it freed two others - S.A.R. Geelani, a Delhi University lecturer and Afsan Guru, wife of one of the convicts.
