US National Van Dyke Plans to Disclose Details of Imprisonment in India
US national Matthew Aaron Van Dyke, arrested by India's NIA in March over alleged involvement in Manipur arms training, has announced plans to reveal details about his imprisonment and claims of mistreatment in Tihar jail. After charges under the UAPA were dropped in September, Van Dyke and six Ukrainians were granted default bail. He alleges his incarceration relates to Russia's war against Ukraine and intends to share information through media and social platforms ahead of a February 2027 court hearing.
