Disha Ravi Detención isha Ravi: El arresto de una joven activista india provoca indignación Las preocupaciones sobre la libertad de expresión surgieron después de que Disha Ravi, de 22 años, fuera arrestada por compartir en las redes la información sobre la protesta de los agricultores. El arresto de una activista climática india de 22 años acusada de compartir información sobre las protestas de los agricultores durante semanas ha causado indignación, y muchos lo han calificado de ataque a la libertad de expresión. Disha Ravi fue arrestada el sábado después de que la policía la acusara de editar y hacer circular un toolkit en línea tuiteado por la activista climática Greta Thunberg, que contenía información sobre las manifestaciones de los agricultores, así como sobre cómo unirse a las manifestaciones y apoyar el movimiento a través de la web. La policía de Delhi no dijo de qué se había acusado a Ravi, pero la acusó de ser "una conspiradora clave en la formulación y difusión del documento". El domingo, estuvo en prisión preventiva hasta una audiencia judicial dentro de cinco días. Su abogado no estuvo disponible de inmediato para hacer comentarios. Completamente atroz " Jairam Ramesh, exministro y legislador del partido opositor del Congreso, calificó el arresto y la detención de Ravi de "completamente atroces" y un "acoso e intimidación injustificados". Una coalición de grupos activistas exigió la liberación de Ravi y dijo que estaba "extremadamente preocupado por su seguridad y bienestar". El lunes, los medios locales informaron que se habían emitido órdenes de arresto contra dos activistas más: Nikita Jacob y Shantanu. Varios activistas, escritores y políticos de la oposición han condenado la detención en Twitter, calificando la detención de "alarmante". "¿El" crimen "de Disha? simplemente compartir un documento público que contenía la información más básica para la organización a través de la web: una sugerencia de lo que la gente puede tuitear. qué hashtags pueden usar. y así sucesivamente ”, dijo el poeta indio-canadiense Rupi Kaur en una publicación de Twitter. Otro usuario de Twitter, un político indio Arvind Kejriwal, calificó el arresto como un "ataque sin precedentes a la democracia". Apoorvanand, activista y profesor de la Universidad de Delhi, criticó la represión de los jóvenes activistas. “[El gobierno quiere] enviar un mensaje muy severo a los jóvenes de que no se te permite ir más allá de ti mismo, si eres estudiante, no debes interesarte por los problemas o la vida de personas que son diferentes a ti ," él dijo. El gobierno, dijo Apoorvanand, quiere decirle a esta gente: “¿Qué negocio tienes para que te interesen las vidas de los agricultores o las vidas de los dalits o musulmanes? Y si está cruzando su límite e intenta establecer un contacto con ellos, entonces está claro que es parte de una conspiración ". “Estos arrestos ... y la orden de arresto contra Nikita y otros, es nuevamente el mismo libro de jugadas que está usando el gobierno. La expresión de los dalits fue un crimen, las protestas anti-CAA en sí mismas fueron un crimen y la protesta de los campesinos también es una conspiración global según este gobierno ”, dijo. Desde fines de noviembre, los agricultores han acampado en las carreteras que conducen a la capital, pidiendo que se deroguen las nuevas leyes agrícolas, en uno de los mayores desafíos para el gobierno del primer ministro Narendra Modi desde que llegó al poder en 2014. Las protestas de los agricultores han sido principalmente pacíficas. Sin embargo, el 26 de enero, miles de agricultores abrumaron a la policía e irrumpieron en el histórico complejo del Fuerte Rojo en Delhi después de derribar barricadas y conducir tractores a través de los bloqueos de carreteras. Agitando mala voluntad" Delhi ha reaccionado con furia a los tuits sobre las protestas de las celebridades - además de Thunberg, ha habido tuits de la estrella del pop Rihanna y la sobrina de la vicepresidenta estadounidense Kamala Harris, Meena Harris - llamándolos "sensacionalistas". Después de esas publicaciones, el 5 de febrero, la policía inició una investigación sobre quienes estaban provocando "desafección y mala voluntad" contra el gobierno. Una fuente policial le dijo a la agencia de noticias Reuters que Ravi es un líder de alto rango del brazo indio del movimiento de campaña Fridays for Future de Thunberg. La policía de Delhi dijo en Twitter que el grupo de Ravi había colaborado con personas que querían crear un país separado en el estado norteño de Punjab. Muchos de los agricultores que protestan provienen de Punjab. Información adicional de Bilal Kuchay en Nueva Delhi .

  • The Indian Farmers' Protests: from Local Strikes to a Worldwide
    TOWSON UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS VOL. LIV, NO. 2 The Indian Farmers’ Protests: From Local Strikes to a Worldwide Movement* Eric Ports1 Abstract: The Indian Farmer’s Protests provide an example of the disharmony between the citizens of developing countries and their government caused by the economic turbulence of 2020. Although the roots of the issue are decades-old, new legislation passed late last year built upon the hardships farmers faced during the pandemic and created one of the largest protest movements in human history. This situation has led to an immense wave of unrest as this segment of the population loses faith in their government. Keywords: India, Protests, Unrest, Public Policy Introduction In August of 2020, the Parliament of India announced three new agricultural acts which sought to reform India’s farming industry. The so-called Farm Bills were made into law in the following September, prompting massive protests on behalf of farmers from several Indian states. The bills, in essence, deregulate certain aspects of the agricultural sector, such as minimum selling price and stockpiling limits, which were set up to protect the majority of India’s farmers who rely on such protections to compete with large corporations. They also create the foundations of an electronic trade network, an amenity that few farmers can afford, emboldening national and global corporations. The farmers in several lesser-developed states saw the bills as an affront to their livelihood so that the Indian government could attract foreign private investment. Since these initial demonstrations, the protests have grown exponentially, and farmers’ unions have put out a list of demands that would put an end to the tension.

  • Farmer Protests in India
    Farmer Protests in India March 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46713 SUMMARY R46713 Farmer Protests in India March 1, 2021 In September 2020, India’s Parliament passed three pieces of legislation intended to make major changes to the workings of the country’s agricultural markets, specifically by removing existing K. Alan Kronstadt restrictions on the marketing of farm products so as to allow farmers to negotiate directly with Specialist in South Asian private buyers. Government officials and pro-reform analysts in India and elsewhere contend that Affairs the changes are long overdue and will serve to increase both national agricultural production and farmer incomes while benefitting consumers. Within months, however, mass opposition to the new laws arose, with farmer groups in the fertile, Sikh-majority state of Punjab, the neighboring Haryana state, and elsewhere in the country arguing that any rapid withdrawal of government’s role in the country’s agricultural markets will lead to exploitation of farmers by private firms. Opponents also criticize the new laws as having come without sufficient consultation and consensus-building. Mass, generally peaceful farmer-led protests began in late November and have continued to date, mainly in and near the Indian capital of New Delhi. In January, the Indian Supreme Court issued a hold on the new laws, and soon after the Indian government announced a suspension of the laws’ implementation pending ongoing negotiations with farmer groups. The protests became violent on January 26, a national holiday in India, attracting global attention. Indian authorities’ responses to these and previous major protests elicit criticism on human rights grounds in a country seen by some to be regressing in this realm.

  • The Case of the Farmers' Protests in India
    Indian Public Policy Review 2021, 2(3): 41-64 Radically Networked Societies: The case of the farmers’ protests in India Prateek Waghre* Abstract This paper analyses India’s ongoing farmer protests movement through the lens of the Radically Networked Societies (RNS) framework. Building on prior RNS-based case studies, the paper contends that this movement is marked by a combination of allied and opposing RNS groups. These RNS groups are characterised by the existence of overlapping identities operating across a mix of existing and instantaneous networks coalescing around their respective common causes of opposing the three farm laws enacted by the Union government and opposing this opposition itself. The ensuing interactions result in amplifying and sustaining adjacent and opposite RNS groups. The paper concludes that the hitherto weak bonds underlying spontaneous networked movements will be supported by hardening ties based on political identities that also transcend international boundaries. This can result in sharper responses by states which may be tempered by international pressure or scrutiny in the short term. Alternatively, an increasing number of protest movements for extended periods could lead to a flattening of responses and waning levels of attention. Keywords: Networked Movements, Protests, Counter-Mobilisation Publication Date: 07 May 2021 * Prateek Waghre is a Research Analyst at the Takshashila Institution INDIAN PUBLIC POLICY REVIEW MAY 2021 I. Introduction The period since 2009 is referred to as ‘the age of global mass protests’ with protest movements occurring at a ‘frequency, scope and size’ that are historically unprecedented (Brannen, Haig, and Schmidt 2020). Between 2009 and 2019, the number of recorded anti-government protests increased at an annual average of 11.5% (ibid).

  • 27. the TOOL KIT DILEMMA – Paramvir Singh
    Jus Corpus Law Journal (JCLJ) ISSN: 2582-7820 www.juscorpus.com THE TOOL KIT DILEMMA Paramvir Singh1 ABSTRACT As the farmers' protest is still going on, the prolonged debate of the need to balance the freedom of speech and its restrictions have again gathered the attention with the arrest of the 22 year old climate activist Disha Ravi after the incidental release of the toolkit by Greta Thunberg on her Twitter account on February 4 which has been alleged by the police officials as the master plan of the violence occurred on 26 January and Disha was the one who prepared it along with others in respect of which she has been charged with sedition. There is a national wide outrage that the central government is violating the basic freedom of speech and expression in the name of national security and curbing all voices raised against them with the help of sedition law. Here in this article, we will look into the current situation which leads to the arrest of the young activist and whether there is a gross violation of freedom of speech as alleged by the protestors. 1 Advocate, District Court, Jind, Haryana. VOL. 1 ISSUE 2 228 Jus Corpus Law Journal (JCLJ) ISSN: 2582-7820 www.juscorpus.com INTRODUCTION Since the early December of 2020, we have witnessed a historic event in India led by the farmers who were protesting against the farm laws introduced by the central government of India.

  • TIF - Coming of Age of India’S Youth Climate Movement
    TIF - Coming of Age of India’s Youth Climate Movement NAGRAJ ADVE April 2, 2021 Youth from Fridays for Future India protest in Haridwar demanding climate justice as part of a global climate strike on 25 September 2020 | 350.org (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) A nascent but rapidly growing movement in India of young people — school and college students — concerned about climate change is now confronted with having to deal with the chilling effects of police charges on some of their fellow-activists. The arrest in February of Disha Ravi, a 22-year-old member of the climate change organisation Fridays for Future (FFF) India, on charges including sedition and criminal conspiracy, and warrants issued against two members of Extinction Rebellion (XR) India, Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk, have severely jolted innumerable climate activists, students, and other young people in this country. After spending five days in custody, Ravi was released on bail. As of early March, the three activists were being questioned daily by the police in Delhi. Why these three — and possibly more — activists are being targeted is to some degree a matter of speculation. It could stem from the central government’s intent to undermine the widespread legitimacy of the farmers’ Page 1 www.TheIndiaForum.in April 2, 2021 protests and to paint Disha, Shantanu, and Nikita as conspirators in the violence that took place on 26 January in Delhi. It could also be seen against the backdrop of a recent campaign by organisations including FFF India and XR, against the environmental degradation from the Adani group’s present and planned projects.
