Zakia Jafri, a human rights activist, has died at 86. She spent 20 years seeking justice for her husband, Ehsan Jafri, who was killed in the 2002 Gujarat riots. Ehsan, a Congress politician, was among 69 people killed in the Gulberg Society massacre. Zakia fought legal battles, trying to hold political leaders, including Narendra Modi, accountable. Courts dismissed her case, but she never lost hope. She passed away in Ahmedabad while staying with her daughter. Activists and politicians have paid tribute to her fight for justice. Her son said she still hoped for justice until the end.
