A petition to hold Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and two of his close friends accountable for their “involvement in human rights abuses in India” has been started in the United States.
“We, concerned global citizens, urgently call for accountability and international action against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval for their active role in enabling and escalating grave human rights violations across India,” the document states.
“State-sponsored violence against peaceful demonstrators, systematic targeting of religious and ethnic minorities, censorship and criminalization of dissenting voices, misuse of authoritarian laws like UAPA and sedition to crush democratic freedoms,” according to the petition, which was started by American-Pakistanis.
