UN Experts Slam India for Violating Rights During Student Protests

In a scathing joint statement, UN human rights experts have called out the Indian government's use of force against unarmed student protesters, emphasizing that restrictions on peaceful assembly must be legal and proportionate. The experts highlighted that any actions by the police must serve a legitimate aim and adhere to the country’s international obligations. This statement raises pressing questions for the Indian government: What steps are being taken to protect citizens' rights? Who is accountable for these alleged violations of international law? As reported by The Hindu, the UN's call for action challenges India to reassess its approach to dissent and uphold its commitment to human rights and democracy.
