 25 Journalists of NewsClick Interrogated for the Second Time, Editor and HR Will Appear in Court on Tuesday





New Delhi, October 10, 2023: The Delhi Police Special Cell has questioned about 25 journalists and contributors of the NewsClick portal for the second time in connection with a UAPA case registered against the online news portal for allegedly peddling an "anti-national" agenda in the country.

The interrogation began on Monday and continued on Tuesday. The journalists were questioned about their work for NewsClick and their sources. Some of the journalists were also asked about their personal opinions on the Indian government and its policies.

The editor-in-chief of NewsClick, Prabir Purkayastha, and the portal's human resources head, Amit Chakravarty, were arrested on October 3. They are currently in judicial custody and will appear in court on Tuesday.

The NewsClick portal has been critical of the Indian government on a number of issues, including the Citizenship Amendment Act, the National Register of Citizens, and the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Delhi Police has said that it is investigating NewsClick for alleged violations of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The UAPA is a controversial law that has been used by the government to crack down on dissent.

The interrogation of the NewsClick journalists and the arrest of the portal's editor-in-chief have raised concerns about the freedom of the press in India. A number of journalists and human rights groups have condemned the police action, calling it an attempt to muzzle dissent.

The court hearing on Tuesday is expected to be closely watched by journalists and human rights activists. The outcome of the hearing could have a significant impact on the freedom of the press in India.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others.
