India has a number of “significant human rights issues” such as “restrictions on free expression and media, including violence” and “ threats of violence, or unjustified arrests or prosecutions against journalists”, according to a recent report by the US state department.
Titled “2021 Country Report on Human Rights Practices” and released on Tuesday, the India chapter of the report also cited “terrorists and extremists perpetrating killings, violence, and intimidation” against journalists critical of the government.
