The latest leak of a dossier on Amnesty India by the Enforcement Directorate based on its ongoing investigations, indicates a deliberate attempt by the govt to tarnish Amnesty India’s reputation.

If the authorities believe that Amnesty India has committed an offence, they must prove it in a court of law.

On 14 Nov, a prominent news channel ran two hour-long special shows on the Enforcement Directorate’s raids on Amnesty India. The anchors claimed to have accessed the entire dossier of investigations done by the investigating agency.
They also showed visuals of the documents, including the investigation report, testimonies and bank documents that are a part of the investigations.
It is important to note that Amnesty India has still not been given access to the dossier and has repeatedly been denied access to such information by the agency.
“Isn’t this a gross violation of natural justice where the person accused of a crime is not given full details? We have always respected the rule of law and have extended our full cooperation to the agency’s investigations.“ - @aakar_amnesty

It is alarming to see authorities resort to such low measures to discredit the work of an organization committed to upholding human rights.
It seems like the govt thinks it can abuse its power & run #smearcampaigns to fulfill its agenda of silencing anyone who questions power.
