A student at University of Missouri has been in jail since February for creating false terror threats. He would walk into the university with waving a paper bag, holding a knife and saying he had a bomb and anthrax. His friends blame his economic situation and his academic performance behind this act of his.
Over 1,700 students have now signed the “Help Sujith” online petition urging Missouri’s governor and other top officials to help the Indian student. They said Sujith suffered from depression and was homesick due to financial burdens and academic pressure.
They are requesting authorities to show some leniency towards him. Even before the Feb 28 incident, Sujith, had been struggling with chronic depression and emotional breakdown, according to information posted on helpsujith.org [HT]
