#Nepal: RSF is horrified by the atrocious death of Suresh Rajak, a cameraman for Avenues Television, who was burnt alive in an arson attack today in Kathmandu while covering a protest held by royalists. Those responsible for this tragedy must be identified and brought to justice.

#India: RSF is concerned by the arrest of Cross Current journalist Dilwar Hussain Majumder in Guwahati yesterday. He was stopped after trying to interview the director of APEX Bank about a fraud case & no official reason has been given for his arrest. He should not be detained for doing his job.

#India : Majid Hyderi released on 23 February after a year and a half in prison under the anti-terrorist law, the PSA. The High Court ruled that criticism of the government was not a valid reason for preventive detention. RSF welcomes this decision and calls for the PSA law to be repealed.

#India : RSF hails the #Madras High Court's decision to lift access restrictions on the news site #Vikatan imposed by the Minister of Information after the site posted a caricature of #Modi and #Trump. Yet the political cartoon remains censored — RSF condemns this ban & calls for its republication.

#India: RSF demands the immediate release of journalists T.Yadav & R.Pogadadanda, whose home was raided before they were arrested and put in custody for 14 days due to an interview posted on X, in which a farmer verbally attacks the Chief Min of #Telangana. Their arrest is an excessive punishment.
