UN criticises India over journalist Gauri Lankesh's murder
UN human rights chief Zeid Hussein has criticised India over the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, who, he said, "tirelessly addressed the corrosive effect of sectarianism and hatred". Hussein also accused India of harassing and denying state protection to "rights' defenders working for the country's most vulnerable groups" instead of seeing them as allies in building a more inclusive society.
