India executes ten Maoist militants
An Indian court has sentenced ten members of the Maoist insurgent movement to death on charges of conspiracy and waging war against the state. They were convicted of participating in a 2013 ambush that resulted in the death of 27 people, including members of the Congress Party. The incident occurred when the rebels exploded a bomb and fired upon a convoy carrying political officials and security forces on their way back from a rally in Chhattisgarh state. This attack is considered one of the bloodiest in the history of the Maoist insurgency in India, which has caused more than 12,000 deaths since its emergence in 1967. The imposition of the death penalty in India is rare, with the last execution carried out in 2020, making this case one of the most prominent recent executions.
