The Hindu
The arrest of Disha Ravi, a 22-year-old environmental activist from the city, has sparked outrage among parents across the country, many who have come together to demand freedom and safety for their children. In a statement issued to the media on Thursday, 231 parents have demanded that the Delhi police drop the “farcical investigation into the legitimate Right to Expression” of young adults and immediately release Ms. Ravi.
“As parents of children, teenagers and young adults, we are shocked by this arrest. The arbitrariness of this case, which criminalizes an ordinary tool used both by the government and social movements, will have a chilling effect on youth and parents alike,” read the statement.
