In the early morning of October 3, the homes of over 100 journalists, contractors, and former employees associated with the progressive news outlets NewsClick and Peoples Dispatch, as well as Tricontinental Research Service, were raided by Indian authorities.
Zoe Alexandra the co-editor of Peoples Dispatch, discusses the sweeping crackdown on press freedom in India, which was instigated by an August New York Times article.
“It’s an attack on democracy [..] it’s one of the most expansive acts of repression that has been seen in recent history.”
