India no country for young protesters, says international rights body on independence day

As the country celebrates its 74th Independence Day, the Government of India must stop criminalising dissent and immediately release all the young peaceful protesters who are being subjected to intimidation, harassment and arrests for their participation in anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests, said Amnesty International India on the eve of the launch of its ‘Right To Dissent’ Campaign on Friday.
