In India rightwing group combs campuses to weed out voices critical of state.
Abstract: - Excerpt:
NEW DELHI -- A somber Amnesty International event recently featured families from trouble-torn Kashmir province recounting stories of abusive behavior by the Indian army, before it dissolved into angry calls for freedom from India.
Members of the country’s right-wing student group All India Students Council -- or ABVP -- were also there, quick to counter with protests of their own. A police complaint that Amnesty had organized an anti-India event resulted in a sedition charge against the rights group and a call for it to be banned.
