Khalid Saifi is a human rights defender and social activist associated with United Against Hate, a campaign that was started in July 2017 in response to the series of lynchings that had taken place in India around that time. Since the passing of the Citizenship Amendment Act, the campaign has grown widely to support protests against the discriminatory Act.

Human rights defenders in India face a diverse range of attacks and harassment from state and non-state actors alike, including killing, physical assault, arbitrary detention, threats and judicial harassment.
