India detains thousands in Delhi protest crackdown
Original: cjp jantar mantar protest detention
Indian authorities detained thousands of people and imposed a lockdown across Delhi to prevent a planned protest at Jantar Mantar against the chief election commissioner. Police rounded up demonstrators before they could gather, sparking criticism from opposition parties and civil rights groups who called the mass detentions heavy-handed and an attack on the right to protest.
Why now: The unusually large scale of pre-emptive detentions ahead of a protest against the election chief has drawn widespread attention and criticism.
