UN Experts Raise Concerns Over India's Handling of Student Protests
United Nations experts and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have expressed concern over the handling of protests in India, particularly regarding reports of mass detentions, excessive use of force, and restrictions on peaceful assembly during demonstrations against the Chief Election Commissioner. The OHCHR called for respect of protest rights and the release of detainees. Comparisons with responses to protests in other countries highlight perceived inconsistencies in UN statements and media coverage.
