Imprisoning A Child is A ‘Flagrant Violation’ Of The Law, Yet Police Freely Violate The Law, 77% Of Detentions In UP

Despite the Supreme Court calling the detention of children ‘a flagrant violation of the law’, right-to-information data reveals at least 79 such detentions, 61 from Uttar Pradesh alone over five years. Juvenile justice law clearly says that no child in conflict with the law can be placed in a police lock-up or jail.

India’s National Human Rights Commission At Risk Of Losing Top-Level Ranking For Second Time Since 1999

Lack of diversity in staff and leadership. Political interference in appointments. Involvement of police officers in investigations of human rights violations. Lack of cooperation with civil society. Insufficient action to protect marginalised groups. These are the reasons cited by a global alliance of human rights organisations in deferring, for the second time in nearly a quarter century, the accreditation of India’s National Human Rights Commission, for its highest rating.
