Court orders release of journalist who criticised Indian government

Kishorchand Wangkhem, who works in the north-eastern state of Manipur, was sentenced to 12 months prison for sedition under India’s National Security Act in December.

The judges set aside the government orders on grounds that local authorities had not provided the journalist copies of posts and videos uploaded by him. She was a 19th-century freedom fighter and a popular symbol of India’s independence movement under British rule.
