Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported46m ago
An Indian court ordered the five-day detention of two leaders from the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Wednesday. The arrests occurred following a protest where CJP activists and opposition parties defied a security crackdown to demand the resignation of the election commission, scaling barricades to enter a historic protest site and chanting slogans.
The detentions mark an escalation in police efforts to suppress the anti-election commission demonstrations led by the CJP. The movement's leadership has been directly targeted as authorities crack down on the ongoing opposition actions.
