Indian officials raid Amnesty International's regional office
2018-10-26
[Al Jazeera] India's Enforcement Directorate (ED), a government agency that investigates financial crimes, has conducted raids at the regional office of Amnesia Amnesty International in what activists claim are efforts to silence dissent.

Indian media reports said the raids at the premises of the rights watchdog in Bengaluru in southern Karnataka state began at 1:30pm (8:30 GMT) on Thursday afternoon and were ongoing.

A statement released by ED said its searches were conducted for alleged violation of foreign direct investment guidelines by Amnesty India. The agency accused the rights group of bypassing rules regarding foreign donations by "floating a commercial entity".

Amnesty India did not immediately respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment.

#1  Maybe limit the hotels and restaurants they use to three stars maximum. They'll evaporate overnight.
