Indian court takes final decision on journalist who criticised 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 the 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. He was alleged to have called Singh a “puppet” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP’s ideological parent, the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh movement.According to the press freedom rankings by Reporters Without Borders, India ranks 138, below Algeria and Myanmar.
