Amnesty International
VS
Indian government
Amnesty International is a global human rights organization that monitors and campaigns against abuses worldwide, including in India.
The Indian government is the federal authority of India, responsible for law enforcement and national security.
The two have a history of tension, with Amnesty International accusing Indian security forces of human rights violations and the Indian government denying such allegations.
The current dispute centers on Amnesty International's claim that Indian security forces used lethal weapons against protesters, allegedly referring to them as 'cockroaches'.
The Indian government denies these allegations, leading to a clash over the conduct of law enforcement during protests.
This disagreement is part of a broader conflict, as the Indian government has previously taken actions against Amnesty International, such as freezing its bank accounts, which Amnesty says forced it to halt operations in the country.
