MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's central investigating agency raided the local offices of human rights group Amnesty International on Friday, the Central Bureau of Investigation said, in a probe into alleged violations of foreign funding rules."It was alleged that the provision of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act 2010 and Indian Penal Code were contravened," the federal agency, known as the CBI, said in a statement, adding that the Indian arm received contributions from Amnesty International UK despite government restrictions.
The raids were conducted at Amnesty International's offices in Bengaluru and New Delhi after the CBI registered a case against the group based on a complaint from India's Home Ministry, the statement added.
| It has mostly to do with certain islamophile stooges egging on Kashmiri dissent within and without, this latest. But Amnesty is a general nuisance everywhere. A domestic intelligence study revealed in March this year, that as the funds to these 'humanitarian' groups became scarce, the lawfare branches of most terrorist groups, their lawyers, their facilitators began to solicit funds desperately. As if a major vein had been blocked. The home agencies submitted a most interesting 572 page report, detailing the networks of payment, shell companies, fronts and payments to local journalists, activists, politicians etc. Although we urged them to keep out the names and accounts of Soros affiliated nuthouses and individuals, the Hand of Soros did show up repeatedly. |
"Over the past year, a pattern of harassment has emerged every time Amnesty International India stands up and speaks out against human rights violations in India," the group said in a statement.
Yup, whack-a-mole it's called.
Amnesty accused Modi's government of violations of human rights in Kashmir after it revoked the constitutional autonomy of the disputed state in August and came down heavily on protesters in the aftermath.
The rights group also criticised the government's recent move to revoke the overseas Indian citizenship of British writer Aatish Taseer, calling it "discrimination based on gender and ethnic or national origin".
India has tightened surveillance of non-profit organisations in the country since Modi took power in 2014, with thousands of civil society groups having their licences to receive foreign donations cancelled or suspended.
Once you have resolve and make no pretense about it, creative officials do the rest really.
India's financial crime investigating agency, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), froze bank accounts of environmental watchdog Greenpeace India last year, forcing the organisation to cut its staff to a bare minimum.
Amnesty International's bank accounts were also frozen by the ED last year.
| PS: I think you should seriously consider a 'Hand of Soros' option in the Organization dropdown. These fuckers are showing up in everything. |
