Thanks @unhumanrights for the call to take ongoing #FarmersProtest scenario in a positive direction.
But, the world needs to see how the govt. turns this 'Fight for Right', unjust & brutal.
How cruelly is #HumanRights; Freedom of Expression violated by the Indian Govt.
#India: We call on the authorities and protesters to exercise maximum restraint in ongoing #FarmersProtests. The rights to peaceful assembly & expression should be protected both offline & online. It's crucial to find equitable solutions with due respect to #HumanRights for all.
India is the largest democracy in the world and free speech is one of the finest hallmarks of democracy.
I am closely watching the #FarmersProtests with concern about potential attacks on freedom of speech including cuts to internet service and state-sponsored violence.
this week @rihanna , @GretaThunberg & @meenaharris brought awareness to india’s #farmersprotest and look at the response. misogyny and rightwing regimes go hand in hand.
i implore the world to keep their eyes open and bring international attention to modi’s harmful farm laws
