Summary

Indian police have raided the home of environmental activists Harjeet Singh and Jyoti Awasthi, co-founders of Satat Sampada, over allegations that their advocacy for a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty undermines national interests. The Enforcement Directorate claims they received nearly £500,000 for their efforts, which the activists describe as "baseless, biased and misleading," according to The Guardian.
