Exposing #HumanRightsViolations in #Assam and other remote regions of the world is one reason why we must demand independent journalists like @RanaAyyub are protected from threats or harassment fm State and non state actors. #JournalismisNotACrime.@CPJAsia.
Last year i met the grieving family of Haider Ali who was killed during a police firing during an eviction drive in Assam. Yesterday another man, Sakowar Ali was killed in police firing in Assam during an eviction drive. The silence on the injustices in Assam is deafening
