Germany's embassy in New Delhi is "monitoring very closely" the arrest of Alt News cofounder Muhammed Zubair and is also "in contact" with its "EU partners on the ground", a representative of the German foreign ministry has said.
In a video posted by Richard Walker, chief international editor of DW, the representative, when asked about Zubair, said Germany is "committed to freedom of expression and freedom of the press all over the world...and that also applies to India."
