India prepares for new protests after cockroach leader releases

New Delhi is preparing for a second day of youth protests demanding the resignation of the head of India's electoral commission. Reuters reports.

The court ordered the release of the founder of the “cockroach” movement Abhijit Dipke and two other leaders. They were arrested on Saturday after the plane landed. The condition of release is the absence of violations of order during the year.

Police detained more than 2,000 people and cordoned off downtown Delhi. On Sunday, thousands of security forces continue to be on duty in the city, although the subway is open and the Internet is open.

The opposition condemned the excessive use of force. The UN urged India to respect the right to peaceful assembly. The Indian Foreign Ministry called the UN approach selective and unjustified interference in internal affairs.
