India streets see 30 injuries amid protests
Amnesty International's report highlights the excessive use of force by Indian security forces during protests by supporters of the "People's Cockroach Party" in Delhi and Siyan town between July 20 and 24. The report states that at least 30 people were injured by shotgun pellets, in addition to being beaten with batons and electroshock devices. Despite photographic evidence documenting the targeting of protesters with dangerous weapons and violent assaults, no police officers have been held accountable so far. The organization criticizes the police's handling of the protests, including the cutting off of internet access and the ban on gatherings, considering these measures a violation of the right to peaceful assembly. The report also shows that police used assault rifles unjustifiably against protesters, reflecting a dangerous escalation in the use of force.
