Justice Bhuyan slams shrinking dissent space in India

Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan expressed concern over the shrinking space for dissent in India, citing arrests of student protesters, denial of bail, and restrictive bail conditions. Speaking at NLIU Bhopal, he noted lawful activities are being criminalized, including a case where an iftar on a boat led to three months in jail. He criticized courts for imposing conditions that curb freedom of expression.
