India Moves to Silence Justice For All

 

India has become one of the world’s most aggressive democratic censors, using website blocks, social media restrictions and internet shutdowns to silence human rights advocacy. Now, Justice For All is the latest target.

India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has sent Justice For All a notice asking why our website should remain accessible in India. If Justice For All does not respond, the website could face an automatic ban.

We responded with full conviction in our human rights work on Kashmir, prisoners of conscience and hijab rights — the three areas cited in the notice.

Justice For All made clear that India’s people, civil society and intellectual traditions should not be treated as so fragile that they must be shielded from standard human rights reporting and advocacy. Already, Justice For All’s India-focused Facebook and X accounts are blocked in the country.

We remain committed to speaking the truth, defending human rights and standing with targeted communities, regardless of attempts to censor our work.
