DIGIPUB News India Foundation, an association of digital news publishers, has condemned the continued imprisonment of journalist Ravi Nair in a criminal defamation case brought by the Adani Group. In a statement dated September 23, the media body said the case raises concerns that go well beyond one journalist.
DIGIPUB described Nair’s continued detention as “deeply disturbing” and said it stems from his reporting and posts about the Adani Group. It built its objection around one fundamental question: “If an appeal is still pending, why should a journalist be kept behind bars before the final outcome of that appeal?”
