APCR Criticizes Detention of Goa Protesters Holding Posters of Political Prisoners, Alleges Criminalisation of Dissent

The Association for Protection of Civil Rights condemned the detention of activists in Goa. They claim the state uses criminal laws to suppress peaceful dissent and violate constitutional rights. APCR argued that recent police actions against protesters are politically motivated. The group urged authorities to withdraw these proceedings and ensure that all citizens receive equal protection under the law.
